Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Book Review
I finally got around to reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows last week, it took me about five days, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact I got to the last few chapters and felt an odd sense of sorrow that it was all about to end, seven books, thousands of pages, no new harry potter’s to look forward to.
This one was very different as there was very little about Hogwarts, and if I’m to be ultra critical the middle part of the story wasn’t as packed with action as some of the other books. That being said I liked the change of pace that not being at Hogwarts brung. The plot was excellent and the ending could have gone several ways, in fact that would be a great exercise for someone’s high school english class – rewrite the end of the last Harry Potter!
I can’t wait to read this series back to back to Erin, I wish Harry Potter was written when I was having bedtime stories!
What did you think of the final potter instalment?
This sounds funny, but it’s odd to see it with a different cover. Every time I hear “Philosopher’s Stone” it throws me off
I love it! I thought she did a great job of wrapping everything up, and I liked how everything turned out. I was also very sad for it to be done.
Sounds like good reading for Christmas time – curled up next to the fire. I just haven’t found time yet to read it. I’m so proud to be living in the same city as HP’s creator!
Michelle – This is my favourite cover, and the one that I actually read – I don’t know why but I prefer it to the sketched illustrations of Harry.
Richelle – Best of the series??
Helen – Me too! We should go for coffee at the Elephant House (that’s the cafe where J K started writing potter)!
I loved it. I really loved the ending and I look at Snape in a whole different way now!
This wasn’t my favorite book of the series (still love the Order of the phoenix best!), though it was utterly fascinating and had me on edge for days until I’d finished it!
I can’t help wondering (desperately hoping, in fact) that Ms. Rowling may be inspired to bring out a series for adult. Imagine Harry as an adult Auror…?
