REVIEWED BY TIMOTHY S. DAVIS
Finally after a great adventure for all potter fans, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has arrived, and it is the 7th, much awaited and final instalment of the highly successful Harry Potter franchise by J.K Rowling. This book continues from where Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince left off. Voldemort and his Death Eaters are searching for Harry Potter, the boy who lived, while Harry and his best friends Ronald Weasly and Hermione Granger start their search for Voldemorts horcruxes (hidden objects containing parts of voldemorts soul).
This is the first book of the series where the trio of Harry, Ron and Hermione are not at Hogwarts for most of the book.
Throughout the book they are in hiding on their quest for the horcruxes and they meet various obstacles along the way, as well as emotional hurdles. Harry and Hermione go back to where Harrys parents died where they both get quite emotional while for much of the first part Ron becomes jealous of Harry and Hermione spending a lot of time together, seeing as Ron loves Hermione. Harry also becomes obsessed about the Deathly Hallows, which are an undefeatable wand, and invisibility cloak and a resurrection stone. Owning all three at the same time means immortality, something Voldemort is seeking.
There are many exciting and thrilling parts in the book, including Ron’s heroic return, the trio riding a half blind dragon out of a bank run by goblins, Harrys realization that he has to be killed to save his friends and the epic and most anticipated final battle between the Death Eaters against Hogwarts and the even more anticipated duel between Harry and Lord Voldemort which takes place in Hogwarts with the whole school watching! The conclusion is a great finish to the series and there are many shocks along the way including Severus Snapes change of heart and Harry’s thoughts about Snape – one of the main characters in this book who plays a vital role in not just this book, but also the whole series!
It is a very thrilling and entertaining book that excited me the whole way. I have read this book 5 times and never get sick of it and I learn new things every time. An action packed book filled with excitement, anger, happiness and any other emotion that you could think of. A must read for all Potter fanatics.
My Rating for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: 9 ¾ out of a possible 10 (pun intended potter fans)
