Book one-hundred-and-twelve: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2007)
J.K. Rowling


Rating: 5/5

I don’t think there is really much I can say. I’m happy and sad. Happy that I finally know what happens in the end, but sad that it is the end.

It was kind of nice for it to be acceptable in general society to be excited about a book coming out. You know, rush to the bookstore on the day of release kind of excited. I’m going to miss that.

Anyway, I loved it. It could be my favourite. At the moment it’s a tie between this, Philosopher’s Stone and Goblet of Fire…


Harry is waiting in Privet Drive. The Order of the Phoenix is coming to escort him safely away without Voldemort and his supporters knowing if they can. But what will Harry do then? How can he fulfil the momentous and seemingly impossible task that Professor Dumbledore has left him with.

In this final, seventh instalment of the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling unveils in spectacular fashion the answers to the many questions that have been so eagerly awaited. The spellbinding, richly woven narrative, which plunges, twists and turns at a breathtaking pace, confirms the author as a mistress of storytelling, whose books will be read, reread and read again.

I’m still sad it’s over, but I like how it ended. Although, the whole epilogue thing was a bit disappointing.



Finished: Saturday 21/7
