Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Spoiler Alert)

Yes. I am going to spoil as much as I like here since I can’t talk about it at home. My mother thinks she’s going to read it all even though she has already read the Epilogue. *sigh*

This is my favorite book of the series. It moves fast and shows more things of the Wizarding World. I found Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore’s history intriguing. (I just had to say his full name.) Who knew that he had such a power-hungry history. I’m glad that he eventually saw his flaw, and decided to just be Headmaster at Hogwarts. Such a wise man.

One thing I do wish is that I should have put more trust into Severus Snape. I wasn’t sure what to think of him after he killed Dumbledore, but now I know Dumbledore would’ve died within the year anyway. Snape knew this as well. I do feel bad about the way he died. It was so cruel. Just imagining Nagini biting him like that… *shivers*

I’ve got to say that the hunt for the Horcruxes took a long time. I don’t blame Harry, Ron, or Hermione for not knowing where they were. Voldemort, or should I say Tom Riddle, is a difficult person to understand. Some of the horcruxes were found by shear luck most of the time, especially the Lost Diadem of Ravenclaw. If Tom wasn’t so stupid, then maybe the trio wouldn’t have found it. I mean, his stupidity was really shown when he got angry and let himself be known to Harry.

All in all, I liked this book a lot. There’s so much revealed in it. I especially love the Epilogue. I like how it shows that Ron and Hermione get together, as well as Harry and Ginny. I also liked the names of Harry and Ginny’s kids: James, Albus Severus, and Lily. It showed the love and respect Harry had for these people.
