Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Bloomsbury Publishing)

I pre-ordered this book from Amazon, and did not expect it to arrive it on the day of release (Saturday 21st July). I was expecting to recieve it on the monday or tuesday, but I was surprised when I came home from work at one in the afternoon that saturday when it was released, to find that my copy had arrived. I'm not a Harry Potter fan or anything, though I do love the books. The Harry Potter series is the best books I've ever read; not just the stoies in general, but the way they're written. They don't drag as you read, yet they're not rushed either. A really fun read they are. They're the sort of books I can spend hours and hours reading. From the moment my copy arrived, I was sitting down reading the book and it was just over midnight when I put the book down for the day (I was just slightly more than half way through). I would've actually spent the whole evening reading if I had to, and I'm sure I probably wouldn't have put it down until I finished, and I ain't bullsh***ing about that either. The only thing that made me put it down that evening was the fact I had work the following morning. During work that Sunday, I wanted nothing more than to finish my shift and get back home to the book. As soon as I finally did I was back to reading the book and I finished it (about seven in the afternoon) that same day. The book I found simply amazing, from start to finish. There are twists throughout the story and certain gaps are filled, such as the identity of R.A.B, who stole Voldemort's horcrux and replaced it with a fake, which at the end of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", Harry and Dumbledore took. The book in general isn't just the best, but the most different out of the lot, the reason being that the first six are set in Hogwarts, where this one isn't (not until the very end anyway). This book I had been looking foward to reading ever since I read book 6 (HPAT Half-Blood Prince). Off course I knew that the release of this book was an extra two years ahead. Book 6 ended with Dumbledore's murder (Snape was the culprit) and Harry's decision to never return to Hogwarts for his seventh year, but instead to continue on Dumbledore's mission (which he is certain Dumbledore left him) of finding Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes. As far as Harry and Dumbledore were aware of there were only six horcruxes in total; Tom Riddle's diary and Marvolo's ring had been destroyed. That leaves Helga Hufflepuff's cup, Salazar Slytherin's locket, Nagini (Voldemort's pet snake), and something that belonged to Rowena Ravenclaw. This book like the previous 5 starts of in the summer holidays (book 1 as you remember actually begins in November, that's why I've said previous 5 books, not 6). The Dursley's get moved elsewhere, due to Voldemort and the Death Eaters and Harry is waiting for some wizards to escort him to the Burrow. The day after Harry's 17th birthday, during Fleur and Bill's wedding, Voldemort siezes the Ministry of Magic, Death Eaters attack and Harry, Ron and Hermoine are forced to escape, where they begin their qeust to find and destroy Voldemort's horcruxes. To make things tougher, wizards are after Harry, so he must keep a low profile and avoid been seen. Nevertheless, Hermoine and Ron stand by him and help him out in this mission to destroy those horcruxes. This book is without doubt the best of the lot, though there are sad moments and many deaths throughout the book. I won't tell you wether or not Harry does die or succeeds in killing Voldemort, but I will tell you this; the ending is brilliant, and the final battle against the Death Eaters is similar to the one at the end of book 6. It will be a few short years when this book is made into a film, which I look foward to seeing, although I know it won't be anywhere as good as the book. If you've never read any of the books before and wish to read this, then I suggest that you read the first 6 first. These are the following titles... Harry Potter and the... ...Philosopher's Stone (6th best) ...Chamber of Secrets (5th best) ...Prisoner of Azkaban (7th best) ...Goblet of Fire (4th best) ...Order of the Phoenix (2nd best) ...Half-Blood Prince (3rd best) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is an excellent book and like I've mentioned in the title for this review, the best one out of the lot. I plan to (not yet but soonish) to re-read all seven books again. Excellent books you'd be crazy to not even consider reading them. I urge you to get this book now.

Brilliant!

lovely ending to the series but what happened to Luna. The author updated all the main characters but her

DOES CONTAIN SOME SPOILERS! And so the greatest literary saga ever written comes to a close. J K Rowling, probably the most read children's author ever, had a lot of fans to please and a massive weight on her shoulders to deliver something epic and awesome in equal measures. With Deathly Hallows she has definitely done that, this book could not be any bettter, it is moving, action packed, epic, entertaining, very well written and unbelievably fast paced. The descriptions are vivid and engrossing as are the characters. The events throughout are original and so well described you feel you are actually riding the cart through Gringotts or fighting beside the students of hogwarts as they battle to defend their lives and their school. Never has a series of books been so involving and engrossing - it is impossible not to be swept up in the wizarding world and become lost for a few chapter every night in this halls of Hogwarts or the forest of dean or the winding streets of Diagon alley. While i was reading this book the pages seemed to fly by as if they were enchanted to do so, i lapped up this final installment in the series with great enthusiasm and it never failed to have me reaching for it every night and yearning for it when i was in school. There was not a moment, whilst reading this, that i was not entertained or engrossed - i literally had to force myself to put it down at two in the morning when i should have been sleeping. As usual the story seems to be well thought out and very pleasing. Rowling uses her boundless imagination to deliver a roller coaster ride through thoroughly brilliant chapters. Each of the chapters gets subsequently better and seem vastly shorter than they are in truth. The final battle of hogwarts is gripping and brilliantly paced, the action (never overdone) blends seamlessly with the emotion and I truly could not put this book down. The revelation that Snape sent the silver doe, that he had vowed to Dumbeldore to protect Harry and that he was not in fact in league with Voldemort were a stroke of genius and a very wise plot twist to include. The Harry Potter novels and films have been a massive part of mine and millions of other peoples lives and Rowling could not have ended this phenomonal series any better. It has been unbelievable growing up in Hogwarts and the wizarding world and though it is over a part of me will never leave the Gryffindor common room and the big old castle that was our chance to be a part of something unique and completely extraordinary. Well done J K Rowling and thanks for making my childhood so much more.

A wonderful story about magic, courage and friendship. The suspense grows as you continue to read. Each horcrux is destroyed, until only the one in Harry and the one in the snake is left and then only thr one in the snake. Now at last there is only Voltemore, himself to be conquered and he has only a fragment of his soul left. Against Harry with his soul intact, Voltemore has no chance even if Harry did not have the Elder Wand.

Excellent. Plenty of detail. Nothing left out. Eyes not very good, so I can increase font size. Well recommended

It is a very interesting book and I love the ending of it the hero of the wizarding world but I have to say that Amazon has damaged the book. It has had a a page ripped a little and a bit of the book is a bit bent it must’ve happened when delivering it, but otherwise the book itself is a brilliant..

I can’t wait to read I love the movies & books to

What do i even write for a review of a book? Love the HP books, came in good condition. Years later it is still a book on my shelf🤯

I loved reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone! It was so exciting and full of magic. Harry is a really cool character, and I liked how brave and kind he is. My favorite parts were when he learns how to use magic and flies on a broomstick! The story made me feel like I was at Hogwarts too. It has funny parts, some scary parts, and lots of adventure. I couldn’t stop reading it and now I want to read the next one right away! I think any 10-year-old girl who loves magic and fun stories would really enjoy this book!

"Harry Potter e i Doni della Morte" è un libro che ogni fan della saga deve leggere. È un finale epico e commovente che conclude in modo magistrale una delle storie più amate di tutti i tempi. Leggere "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" nella sua versione originale inglese è stata un'esperienza indimenticabile,permette di cogliere sfumature e giochi di parole che possono perdersi nella traduzione.ed è un ottimo modo per migliorare il proprio inglese e ampliare il vocabolario.

First, I love the Harry Potter series even though I'm over 50. It is a work of genius which will entertain generations of all ages for eons. With that said, I have noticed a tone of Rowling's growing resentment toward the Harry Potter character, which has increased with each of the last 4 books. I remember her saying many times that she was writing the series for herself. However, once an author publishes, their books cannot be for the author alone. The minute they sell their works, the author has a responsibility toward the public, the publisher and any contracts with studios and residual Agreements. From the 3rd book on, you can detect a growing resentment which Rowling is developing toward her main character as she begins to lose control of the books and is under increasing pressures with timelines and schedules to complete each sequel. The schedules are an unavoidable necessity due to the aging of the actors and a rush to complete each sequel before they became too old for their roles. I believe Rowlings did not like being pressured by deadlines and it shows in Harry's increasing tendency toward petulance, disregard for the consequences for his actions and increasing self-concentric stubbornness she has instilled in his character. Increasing in intensity with each novel. By this final book, she clearly intended to kill off Harry and irretrievably end the series. Only extreme pressure from her publisher, family or high ranking members of the British Parliament or Monarchy may have changed her intent because hundreds of fans, celebrities and other famous people who pleaded with her did not seem to make any headway in persuading her to spare Harry for the sake of the millions of fans and children. But it looks to me that she attempted to sully the reputations of Dumbledore and make Harry so petulant and self-indulgent with no regard to others that it would turn the fans off from wanting further sequels. If you noticed, she had him sitting in tents for weeks at a time doing nothing with no sense of concern or urgency about innocent people dying, suffering and disappearing at the hands of Voldemort and his followers while Harry supposedly sat around for weeks making no effort at all to expedite his mission. And to ignore the warnings about the tracking attached to those who spoke the name of Voldemort which resulted in loss of life. Or his insistence to indulge his desires to visit the graves and Potter home without concern for Hermione's safety or time lost while people suffered.... and yet, with each mistake, he did not learn. He only became more careless and self-concentric while Rowlings did her best to destroy Dumbledores character for no good reason. It did not enhance the story and she was still dropping bombs on his character even after the book was published. It is clear she has grown to hate her own creation and wants to be free of the Potter aura which made her wealthy and famous. I think she would have made the last book much worse if the publisher had allowed her to crucify the characters in a final act to destroy the series for good. Thankfully, most readers were oblivious to Rowlings growing resentment toward her own characters or were able to ignore it and still enjoy the book. The movies will likely make the time periods seem like days rather than weeks as written and they will soften the petulance and negatives. It is still an enjoyable book and wonderful series despite Rowling's inner struggles to break free from the Potter series prison. I don't think any other books she writes will do well. It would be similar to the actors of Star Trek who could not break out of their roles and finally gave in on the movies and conventions and learned to enjoy and appreciate their stereotyped fame and popularity rather than fight it. One note of interest was a mid 1980's movie I saw a couple years ago called, "Troll" starring Angela Lansbury, her daughter Jessica and a main character... a young boy named "Harry Potter." I nearly fell off the chair when I saw this movie about a magical kingdom, trolls, witches, magic and talking mushrooms. There were several things about this movie which made you wonder about the birth of the Potter series, however... the difference between that movie and this series is like night and day and does not hold a candle to this series. There are endless stories the Harry Potter series could do with the characters as grown adults. There is no limit to how many could be made. I hope to see more even if it is from another author as long as it is written in the same style and does not contradict the basic premise and past events. Nothing could diminish the enjoyment these books and movies have brought to hundreds of millions worldwide.... So Ms Rowlings, get used to it and think about how others feel. You took on this responsibility for the fans the moment you decided to publish your books and sell them to the public. If you wanted to write solely for yourself, you shouldn't have sold the stories to the public. Your responsibility is even greater because the majority of your readers are children and will continue to be so as more children are born and begin to read your books. You are an excellent writer for all ages. Now that your characters are adults, you could write without the same schedule pressures you had when they were young. But like you wrote into Harry's character, you need to be aware of what you say, write and do and how it will affect the majority of others. You can't please everyone, but you can have more empathy and consideration for the majority of the fans and how your actions will affect them. It's a wonderful series, so please don't spoil it.
