Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, by J.K. Rowling [J Fiction]
by Loan, 10th grader
The seventh installment in the Harry Potter series was a great way to end the adventure/fantasy series. J.K. Rowling allowed us to follow Harry, Ron, and Hermione on their quest to find the Horcruxes and added drama, twists, and romance along the way. There was never a dull moment as J.K.’s words enchanted the readers. There were many moments where I was at the edge of my seat, left in suspense until I turned the page. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows may have ended one of the most-beloved series, but it wasn’t the last book for nothing!

This seventh and final installation in J.K. Rowling’s best-selling series was fast-paced, exciting, and everything I could ever want from a book. The deaths that everyone expected occurred within the first sixty pages. By the end, at least six of the minor characters had died and one of the Weasley twins was missing a bit of himself. Hallows also had its adventurous parts, with Harry’s quest for the three deathly hallows, one of which was already in his possession. Overall, the 759 page book was worth every cent I paid for it.

I agree that it was an overall fast paced and exiting book, but I think the end left something to be desired. In my opinion, the epilogue focused too much on the fate of the protagonists, and not enough on the antagonists. Also, I think that some of the final scenes were more than a little cliche.

I loved this book. I am an avid reader of the harry potter series, and i think this one was surely one of the best, even though a whole lot of the characters died. this book has some of the most action in comparison to the others. there are musch more adventures.

I’m one of those obsessed Harry Potter fans, and this book didn’t disappoint me in the slightest. Order of the Phoenix (Book Five) is still my favorite one, but DH is probably second, and it was a great end to the series.
