Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Randy Mills
Now, being a fan of Harry Potter I'll try not to be extremely biased. Unlike the other six books, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows did not begin in Number Four Privet Drive, but in a dark alleyway followed by Malfoy Manor. After the first chapter, however, you return to the familiar house of Number Four Privet Drive with Harry Potter and his relatives; the Dursleys.

The entire booked seem to be well thought out as every factor was thoroughly explained in layers upon layers of details. In the first portion of the story, however, everything is very vague and hard to understand, which not only surprises you whenever you find out parts of it, should cause you to wonder even more. This is easily fixed by an extra layer of detail possibly much later or even a chapter later.

The story continues to follow Harry Potter in his quest to defeat the antagonist Tom Riddle, or Voldemort. It follows the same sequence of a 3rd person limited view upon Harry Potter. That being where it tells about his thoughts and feelings, without necessarily being him.

As the story goes on many old faces appear as well as some new. The new faces almost always being a vital point of the story.

Deathly Hallows totaling about 760 Pages is the largest of all books in the series, is probably the best. It not only explained the confusion you encounter in this book alone, but in the other ones in the series as well, leaving no room for mere speculation.

Another aspect that makes the story so great is the imagery. J.K. Rowling does a wonderful job of capturing your imagination by adding odd amount of detail. Sometimes it will clearly create a picture in your mind, yet sometimes it will explain just enough to have you imagine it without going into too much detail upon it.

Furthermore is the thrill of adventure found within this story. J.K. Rowling takes all of these factors and combines it all into a Fantasy/Adventure book that will keep you guessing, wanting more, and excited. The effect of her words causes you to feel as if you, yourself, are a spectator watching upon the battles that occur.

Being sure to keep everything realistic at the same time. Both sides, good and bad, making mistakes and getting in lucky shots as well as showing that not everyone is safe by killing off even the popular characters.

Capturing and keeping the nature of each and every character in the story further strengthens the complete splendor of the book to which everyone should agree. The book is a great addition to any collection, especially as the final piece to the Harry Potter series. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone and give it a 9/10.
