Well the final edition of the Harry Potter series is out and we now know once and for all, the boy who once survived a death spell survived again.
And Harry, with the unerring skill of the Seeker, caught the wandAnyway I am not a Harry Potter fan but still I find the books a good read.
in his free hand as Voldemort fell backward, arms splayed, the slit pupils of
the scarlet eyes rolling upward. Tom Riddle hit the floor with a mundane
finality, his body feeble and shrunken, the white hands empty, the snakelike
face vacant and unknowing. Voldemort was dead, killed by his own rebounding
curse, and Harry stood with two wands in his hand, staring down at his enemy’s
shell.
The final book is interesting. As the finale author J K Rowling has actually used the pen as a brush and the result is a heady mix of emotions. Harry Potter journeys along with his friends destroying horcruxes an escapes disaster so many times, so easily that frankly it becomes a big joke. I think the authoress fails here in this context.
Beyond this the book is generally well written. The final character of both Snape and Dumbledore is surprising. Severus Snape; the vile, hated master of potions and killer of Albus Dumbledore turns out to have never really been working for Voldermort. His love for Lilly, Harry's mother as revealed in the last few pages is indeed touching.
"Snape's Patronus was a doe," said Harry, "the same as my mother's, because he loved her for nearly all of his life, from the time when they were children. You should have realized," he said as he saw
Voldemort's nostrils flare, "he asked you to spare her life, didn't he?"
"He desired her, that was all," sneered Voldemort, "but when she had gone, he agreed that there were other women, and of purer blood, worthier of him - "
"Of course he told you that," said Harry, "but he was Dumbledore's spy from the moment you threatened her, and he's been working against you ever since! Dumbledore was already dying when Snape finished him!"
Dumbledore was forever and still remains a hero but now at times there are dark shades attached to him.In a way its perhaps this complexity and depth of stories that set the books apart.
Also all rumors of another book could probably be laid to rest as the last chapter sees 19 years after Voldermort is dead with Harry having married Ginny and Ron being hitched with Hermoine. Sad I always thought Harry and HErmoine would be perfect. Anyway Harry and Ginny have already had three children and another lovely paragraph is the explanation of harry to his son about his name-
"Ablus Severus," Harry said quietly, so that nobody but Ginny could
hear, and she was tactful enough to pretend to be waving to rose, who was now on the train, "you were named for two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was probably the bravest man I ever knew."
Would I recommend this book. Sure I would. Go ahead and read this but take my word for it that there are better books also
