File Under: Magic, Fiction.
Comments: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is easily my favorite book out of the whole series. Like many other children, Harry Potter was my 'gateway' book into the world of reading, and is solely responsible for my failing grades throughout middle school.

Anyway, J.K Rowling did a beautiful job writing the 7Th book, carefully weeding out characters, and introducing new and important ones. The Deathly Hallows is the only book in which Harry Potter does not have his adventures during and at school, he sets off on his own to destroy the remaining Horcruxes with Ron and Hermione at his side. Dumbledore left him very little information after his death, and it is up to harry to save the Wizarding world as Voldemort rapidly gets stronger and takes over the ministry, and is slowly killing the Muggle race.

You might have seen, or been part of the controversy about whether not Snape is good, or evil. In the deathly hallows, Snape shows where he stands in a heart touching scene that involves Harrys mother. Filled with action and drama...this book is a hard one to put down! Of course, that's how I feel about any Harry Potter book, but that truly shows how incredibly involved one can become in a story. I also feel that J.K did an amazing job closing out the end of the book, it doesn't keep you yearning for more and makes it quite okay that there will be no more books added to the Harry Potter story.
