Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows


By J.K. Rowling

Review by Marlo BYear 7

Well let me just start off with, what a great and magical journey Harry Potter has been for me, and probably you. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the final instalment in the Harry Potter series, and it ends it stunningly.This book continues several weeks after the sixth book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, obviously. After Dumbledore’s sad departure, he left Harry an overwhelming task to undertake and complete. Harry must find and destroy Voldemort’s remaining Horcruxes.Horcruxes is a totally different level of dark magic. It splits the soul in half, but leaving the body severely weakened. In the sixth book, we learn that Voldemort split his soul into seven and put portions of his soul into legendary items which once belonged to great wizards.Harry, Ron and Hermoine, the only three people that Dumbledore entrusted this perilous journey to, venture forth. Many sad, revealing deaths and injuries occur, leaving families torn apart from grief.
My personal opinion of the book is it’s a great and thrilling end to the series, although the very ending could have been done a bit better. I’m sad that the series over, but glad I had the chance to read this. I recommend this to anyone who loves magic, fantasy and of course, the Harry Potter series!And so, the concluding final battle to end the series takes place. “One cannot live while the other survives.” Who will win? Will Harry, Ron and Hermoine succeed? Will the Dark Lord rise to power? All the answers will be told, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.READ IT!Rating: 9.4/10
