Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, by J.K. Rowling

In the seventh and final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling, of the fictional Harry Potter series, Harry leaves wizarding school along with his friends, Ron and Hermione, to track down the horcruxes. Only when all seven horcruxes are destroyed can Harry come face to face in a fight to the death with Voldemort himself. His task becomes increasingly difficult, however, as the world around him falls into his enemy' hands, and he struggles to discover secrets that his deceased headmaster, Dumbledore might have kept from him.

I am a Harry Potter fan, so I liked this book and had a hard time putting it down. It builds suspense, then wraps everything up nicely at the end, but it may be a little confusing if the reader is not familiar with the story up until this point. I would recommend it for kids, teens, adults, and enyone who wants an epic, exciting story.

This book is not only my favorite book in the whole series, but in general, it is my ultimate favorite book. I love how J. K. Rowling manages to finish everything off in this book. She answers nearly every question a reader could have. I only don't like certain parts where she stretches everything out and makes parts much longer than it needs to be, but overall everything is perfectly written. I also don't like how many of my favorite characters were killed off, but I guess it had to happen to make everything more realistic. The best part of this book is the last half, because that's where everything comes to a finish. If you love adventure, fights, intensity, and magic, you should definitely read this book.

In Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, we finally reach the end of the Harry Potter series, where all is revealed. As Harry explains to his friends about the Horcruxes in which Voldemort has used to grant immortality, they start their hunt for all seven Horcruxes. After tremendous efforts including stealing, escaping, and near-death accidents, they succceed in finding the Horcruxes in which Voldemort has put his souls in. Now they must travel back to Hogwarts to face the attack from Voldemorts forces, where eventually the prophecy of, one must die, will finally be completed and fulfilled.

The final book of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was the most epic way to end this series. It truly had everything a reader could want: action, thrills, horror, romance, and mystery. It combined all genres of books to end one of the greatest series, in my opinion, of all time. The battle scenes and horror made me want it to never end, this book can interest any kind of book reader, no matter what kind of book you like! This is a book I would recommend to anyone. No matter what age or gender it will attract any reader. This book along with the series is a very thought out and well written book. Great Job J.K. Rowling!

This is the final installment of the series,Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,by J.K Rowling. In this book Harry,Hermione and Ron try finding the final hocruxes while the Ministry of Magic is taken over by Voldemort. Ron leaves Harry and Hermione for a while out of anger but then returns by using a gift Dumbledore gave him. One by one, the Hocruxes are found and destroyed. Snape is running Hogwarts and is acting like the bad guy for Dumbledore. Harry realizes this when Voldemort kills Snape for the "Elder Wand". Harry is the final Hocrux and he sacrifices his life for his friends but it ends up benefiting him because all the Hocruxes are destroyed. Now Voldemort thinks Harry is dead and Harry gets up and kills Voldemort.

I love this series so much it definitely is my favorite of all time. It has so much action and at the same time mystery. This book had a great plot and the characters were very well-developed. Harry and Ginny had a romance going on as well as Ron and Hermione. I only didn't like the part where Fred died because it made me really sad. Other than that I couldn't put the book down from beginning to end. My favorite character from this book specifically had to be Hermione because she was so strong through everything.

As the ending of the great serious known as the Harry Potter series, the last book is filled with action packed excitement. Harry travels with his two best friends, Ron and Hermione and they are slowly taking down the horrible wizard who has caused the world to become a terrible place. They are living in constant fear that Voldemort will attack the three of them or their families and friends. Voldemort and his followers have taken over Hogwarts and are tormenting the students there. Harry must find a way to defeat Voldemort but doing that must come with sacrifices. Will Harry defeat his enemy and restore peace in the world or will he fall at the hands of his worst nightmare?

The Deathly Hollows, by J.K. Rowling, is personally my favorite book of all time. Every turn of the page got me closer to the edge of my seat. As a reader, I enjoyed reading about the life-threatening adventures the trio went through. I would definitely recommend this amazing book to readers who love fiction, action, adventure, and nail-biting stories.

The seventh novel in J.K. Rowling’s intricate series is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. As the time passes, Voldemort continues to grow stronger, both physically and emotionally. Harry, Hermione, and Ron, all aware of the great danger that Voldemort poses to the magic world, decide to leave Hogwarts in order to complete Dumbledore’s mission -- finding all of the Horcruxes, which will then make Voldemort vulnerable and mortal. They learn quickly that their scavenger hunt has the potential to put an end to their lives. Will they be able to survive?

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was an epic end to an extravagant series. Since the beginning of this series, I was left in awe. From romance to school issues to war, J.K. Rowling created a series that everyone could enjoy. Her somber tone in this book somehow kept me intrigued even more so than the whimsical and matter-of-fact tone in her other books. Finishing this book is analogous to finishing a big, intricate painting and finally getting to see the big picture. Although I am very sad that this series ended, I am glad to have been able to read it.

Harry Potter and thee Deathly Hallows is the seventh and last book in the Harry Potter series. It starts with the the Dursleys moving out of their house. Hermione ,Ron ,and Harry go to find the rest of the horcrux to defeat Voldemort. While they were on an adventure to destroy one of the last horcrux one of Harry's dearest friends spared himself for the greater good. The series can only end with one winner in the final duel.

This book is the darkest and has the most action within it. I would recommend anyone looking for an action packed and also interesting book with a great ending. It is the perfect way to end a beloved series like the harry potter books.This book however would not be understood by a person who didn't not read all six of the other books. Harry Potter an the Deathly Hallows was an interesting and also a fun read that i enjoyed and would recommend to anyone.
