Book Reviews of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)
Book Review: The End of an Epic 10 Year Series
Summary: 5 Stars
What a series. And to cap it off the way J.K. Rowling did - truly unbelievable.
Harry Potter must set out on a mission with his two friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, to find and destroy Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes, the pieces of soul that are keeping Voldemort immortal. Only after the destruction of the Horcruxes can Voldemort be defeated forever. In the story, Harry faces difficult surroundings, adversity, persecution, tragedy, losses, adventure, bravery, and most importantly, love.
J.K. Rowling has gone to new lengths with this incredible series. You can find pieces of the story littered around all seven of the books. I get excited when I find hints, clues, and pieces of foreshadowing that are later discussed and are essential pieces of the puzzle in the other books. J.K. Rowling is a master at the linking of the story, one which she began writing in 1991 on napkins in the local cafe because of her poverty, to other pieces of the story. She has truly opened up the eyes of all of the doubters and all of the people who once said that such an amazing feat was an impossible task. J.K. Rowling started off with nothing, struggling to live a normal life, sometimes having to go hungry in order to feed her baby daughter. She has become a woman who is the highest grossing author in history.
Most importantly, the Harry Potter series has led hundreds of millions of children to start reading and also gave children, and adults as well, a friend and a comfort in the characters of Harry Potter. It is sad that the Harry Potter series cannot continue, but all good things in life must eventually come to an end. We should all praise the work ethic and efforts of J.K. Rowling, a person who has shown that anything is possible with just a little stroke of magic.
Book Review: Great ending to an awesome series
Summary: 5 Stars
Picked this book up at midnight on the release date, started reading it the same night, and finished it the next day, couldn't put it down I had to know what happened next. J.K. Rowling did such a great job as a writer over the entire series, growing into the role of a writer and maturing as her characters matured. I only wish she would have gone into more details in the epilogue of the book with the secondary characters and what happened with them, but that didn't take away from the 5 stars this book and series deserved. If after a year since the release, and you still haven't read it you better get out there and get a copy.Book Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) (Deluxe Edition)
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a great finish to an even greater series of books. Not only did the ending book thrill and excite me but it also gave great closure to anyone who followed the series intently. A must read for Potter-fans and non fans alike.Book Review: The battle begins!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was so excited when I got this book...but so nervous I was almost afraid to open it! What was going to happen? I had speculated for so long, I was almost afraid to find out. The story delivered! There were nailbiting moments as Harry and company invaded the ministry of magic, and the sadness of Hogwarts without Dumbledore. The final confrontation was spine tingling and frightening, but the triumph over Voldemort is worth every moment. JK Rowling ROCKS as a story teller and I can't wait to see what she conjurs up next!Book Review: Rather disappointing
Summary: 3 Stars
Obviously readers of the series will need to read this book. That said I'm glad that this series is coming to a close. The quality of writing and the value of the story has degraded dramatically over the years.
