Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows by J.K. Rowling

After reading Harry Potter and the half blood prince I only waited a few seconds before starting the next one, Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows. The only Harry Potter book from which I can not remember if I ever read it. I defentily watched the movie(s) multiple times, but I can’t remember ever pick up the book.

After the terrible ending of Harry's last school year, things are going to be a whole lot different. Harry is not going back to Hogwarts as he’s not safe there anymore. He doesn’t have to get bored because Dumbledore gave him, Hermoine, and Ron a difficult but necessary task. It’s going to be dangerous, and it’s going to take a lot of courage, and not everyone is going to see the end of it.

“Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears. "After all this time?" "Always," said Snape.”

I didn’t think I would have like this book as much as I did. It not better as the halfblood prince, but it is a book I a glad to have picked up to read. The first half of the book isn’t that interesting, but the battle makes up for it. There were some technical issues I had with the science behind the wands, were I couldn’t wrap my head around some of the rules or the book didn’t follow the rules as they were followed in the earlier books, but even with that in my mind it still was an enjoyable read.

“Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?”

As the book is not as good as the last one it will not be a five star, but I enjoyed it enough to give it four.
