J. K. Rowling

'Give me Harry Potter,' said Voldemort's voice, 'and none shall be harmed. Give me Harry Potter, and I shall leave the school untouched. Give me Harry Potter, and you will be rewarded.' As he climbs into the sidecar of Hagrid's motorbike and takes to the skies, leaving Privet Drive for the last time, Harry Potter knows that Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters are not far behind. The protective charm that has kept Harry safe until now is broken, but he cannot keep hiding. The Dark Lord is breathing fear into everything Harry loves and to stop him Harry will have to find and destroy the remaining Horcruxes. The final battle must begin - Harry must stand and face his enemy...

And at the head, the locket of regulus black bouncing on his chest, was Kreacher. “Fight the dark lord in the name of brave regulus” 

“Tell me one last thing. Is this real? It has this been happening inside my head” “ofc it is happening inside your head. But why on earth should that mean it is not real?”

not them looking the way the were on the day they died but it was the day the potters died because that day their souls died

Sirius was tall and handsome and younger by far than Harry had seen him in life. Lupin was younger too.

bro you go girl I hate you but saying that to Snape yes

Harry had a clear few of the body’s lying next to Fred. Remus and tonks 

Fred looked at Percy with glee “You actually are joking perc. I don’t think I heard you joking since  you were-“ the air exploded. 

And then with a little shutter the Elve became quite still 

Together he and Harry looked down at the silver hilt of the knife petrifying from the elves heaving chest

A blour Flying silver as bellatrix’s knife flew across the room at the place where he was vanashing

It was easy to easy. He had not even picked up his wand.

And James potter fell like a marionette who’s string were cut.

“With your parents safely out of the way” “my parents are dead”

“…about anything of the junk” kreacher has taken a run at mandungus and hit him over the head with pan

shit your mouth Harry because how could you say something like that

“The man who taught me how to fight dementors a coward” 

“I made a great mistake in marrying tonks. I did it against my better judgement and I have regretted it ever since”

Oh kreacher my poor poor kreacher I know what your feeling

Watched as master regulus was dragged beneath the water

Do not enter with out the expressed permission of Regulus Arcturus Black

Yeah Harry I wonder why probably not because he is a bad person and set everyone up for failure

But why had Dumbledore taken James invisibility cloak

not Krum hitting in Ginny while Harry is right there and Harry making himself look frightening 😂

“Yeah and she is seeing someone. Jealous type. Big bloke you would wanna cross him”

One of the saddest death of the golden trio era

Fred and George turned to each other and said together “wow we’re identical”

“I don’t think you’re a waste of space” if Harry hadn’t seen Dudley’s lips move he might have thought its not real

excuse me regulus gave his life for this locket it is not useless

This book should’ve ended three books ago…

Forgot how much better this book is than the movies

Made me cry at the end! I love these books so much

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final book in the epic tale of Harry Potter, Harry and Lord Voldemort each prepare for their ultimate encounter.

Voldemort takes control of the Ministry of Magic, installs Severus Snape as headmaster at Hogwarts, and sends his Death Eaters across the country to wreak havoc and find Harry. Meanwhile, Harry, Ron, and Hermione embark on a desperate quest the length and breadth of Britain, trying to locate and destroy Voldemort’s four remaining Horcruxes, the magical objects in which he has hidden parts of his broken soul. They visit the Burrow, Grimmauld Place, the Ministry, Godric’s Hollow, Malfoy Manor, Diagon Alley…

But every time they solve one mystery, three more evolve—and not just about Voldemort, but about Dumbledore, and Harry’s own past, and three mysterious objects called the Deathly Hallows. The Hallows are literally things out of a children’s tale, which, if real, promise to make their possessor the “Master of Death;” and they ensnare Harry with their tantalizing claim of invulnerability.

It is only after a nigh-unbearable loss that he is brought back to his true purpose, and the trio returns to Hogwarts for the final breathtaking battle between the forces of good and evil. They fight the Death Eaters alongside members of the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore’s Army, the Weasley clan, and the full array of Hogwarts teachers and students.

Yet everything turns upon the moment the entire series has been building up to, the same meeting with which our story began: the moment when Harry and Voldemort face each other at last.

I still cry during this book every time I read. Even though I know all these events are coming, I can't help it. Maybe I cry because this is the end of the series. Maybe I cry because I know that, for now, this is the end of the Harry Potter journey.  (We aren't counting the Cursed Child because let's face it, that wasn't Harry Potter.  

I do have to talk about something in this book. Snape. I think I mentioned some of my thoughts about him in another one of my reviews but I want to expand on this point because this is the book that everybody seems to fall in love with Snape. I admit, that I overlooked his many many flaws when I first read this series and for the first re-reads. 

Then I started to realize something as I explored the fandom some more. Snape isn't a good guy. Yes, he "watched" over Lily's son but did he really? He was so verbally abusive simply because Harry was James' son. He terrorized many students and was borderline obsessive in his love for Lily. Lily made it clear after a while that she wanted nothing to do with him. Normal humans are like "okay, fine. Moving on." Snape continued to be obsessed with Lily. I don't know if, in the end, Snape redeemed himself. I know he did to others but I'm still on the fence about that. 

Overall, I really couldn't ask for a more terrific ending to this series. If I had it my way, this series would go on for forever. I would love to read about what happened at Hogwarts while the trio were finding Horcruxes. I would love to read  The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore. I would even read about the year that Hermione went back for her NEWTs. This series means everything to me.

Leer estos libros cuando eres mayor, es muy doloroso porque sólo quieres protejer a un niño que sólo debería ser un niño, pero tiene responsabilidades de adulto.

Burdened with the dark, dangerous, and seemingly impossible task of locating and destroying Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes, Harry, feeling alone and uncertain about his future, struggles to find the inner strength he needs to follow the path set out before him.

Lynette Pedersen

Of course it was great, but I was kind of disappointed with Rowling this time around. I feel like she totally caved to the fans, and gave us a sticky sweet ending.

The seventh and final volume of the spellbinding Harry Potter series.

HP AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS (7) ปกแข็ง

It felt like it took forever to read this again but the ending is so satisfying :')

I think  J.K. Rowling does a decent job to tying the loose strands of the plot across the volumes. As usual, it's hard to put down.

Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love
 

This is my favourite Harry Potter book, I adore it, I love it so much. It's weird because it's not /usual/ Harry Potter. It doesn't have much Hogwarts, there's no quidditch -- but I love it 

I don't wanna get gushy about Harry Potter I mean you all feel me on this everyone loves Harry Potter, you get me. I'm just gonna list some reasons I love this book, this series, so much. 

- The characters.  I just want it to be on the record Harry James Potter is one of my top five favourite characters. He is just SUCH A GOOD PERSON. I admire his bravery, his selflessness and his determination ( and also he's literally the most savage person his roasts are life ) I love so much about him - I love that he's not perfect either. He can be mean, arrogant, literally annoying asf but I LOVE HIM. He makes me so emotional, like he actually breaks my heart. 

Thats why this book is actual crack for me. There is so much of it relating to Harry's parents, his past, his childhood. There is so much about him having to do the right thing even though it's hard, even though he's suffering, even though people have literally been fucking with him for years he does the right thing anyway I JUST LOVE HIM ALOT 

Other characters, Ron man. Ron. He fucks up bad but he comes back and he redeems himself and urggh I love him. His loyalty is amazing, but he's such a real character. I love how he (quite literally) is able to conquer (stab with a sword) his demons and his character development is amazing and he's just so funny and such a good friend he's my son ?? I love him. 

HERMIONE I honestly can't say anything except wife me she's so inspirational and passionate and sticks to her beliefs even when they're unpopular and I honestly just love her and the trio so much ?

Deathly Hallows is just so good like lets recap on some highlights. 

 --> Opens on Dudley actually accepting Harry and thanking him
 --> Wild broom chase, crazy sky wand fights and I'm Holey Fred ... get it ?
 --> Ron fighting his mother about the wedding. Harry and Ginny. Horcrux planning. 
 --> Coffee shop death eater skirmish
 --> REGULUS ARCTURUS BLACK
 --> Lily's letter
 --> KREACHER
 --> Ministry break-in. Harry sticking it to Umbridge
 --> Potterwatch
 --> GRINGOTTS BREAK-IN ?!?!
 --> The DA resisting in Hogwarts, magical graffiti that says Dumbledore's Army, Still Recruiting!
 --> Speaking of Dumbledore, just the entirely of his and Aberforths family story
 --> Godrics Hollow. Harry seeing James & Lily's graves and the house. Heartbreaking but beautiful
 --> THE BIT WHEN NEVILLE WIPES OUT NAGINI
 --> Snape's story
 --> Everything coming together so beautifully at the end aND THE GRAND HALL SCENE
 --> Harry mending the Phoenix wand 
 --> Teddy Lupin existing
 --> Harry getting to see his parents/Sirius/Lupin say what he's always wanted to crying bye
 --> like the whole book tbh ?? I love it ??


I could say alot about the beautiful messages and sybolism. I could say about the beautiful and poignant way Harry's grief and loss about his parents is dealt with, or talk about the perfect symbolism of Voldermort's death - and how it shows that he was not special but just a regular man who was devoid of love and took his quest for power way too far. I could talk about how Voldermort's soul is represented and what Voldermort represents for humanity but I wouldn't be the first and I won't be the last and I would have too much to say anyway (and no way to say it how I wanna)

So instead I'll just say I adore this book, forever and always. I adore this series and everything it gave me. I love that it created such a wonderful and expansive world I wanna live in. I love that it gave me characters who were my friends growing up. I love that it's defined my childhood and become to important to me and I can't believe it came out nearly ten years ago. I love it so much, forever.

Wow! What a brilliant book. I love nearly all of it. By far has to be the best book in the whole series.

Brittany Jenkins

“...and to you, if you have stuck with Harry until the very end.”

Quite different from the other books in the series, but worth every single star in its own way. Characters that will warm my heart, always; a grand story from beginning to end; and a place that I will likely revisit often. *cue smile and happy tear*

Rowling wraps everything up in this novel. It took me two years to get around to reading it, which was strange, considering that I generally bought the books within a month of release, finishing them within 72 hours of purchase. However, such was not the case with this novel.

The novel does not follow the same formula as the rest of the series; Harry has dropped out of Hogwarts so that he can focus on fighting Voldemort, so most of the book is spent with him and his sidekicks camping out in the woods and coming up with plans that won't work. Also, bickering.

Really, this could I deal with; I ate up the pages just as voraciously as I had with the previous novels. It was the ending that disappointed me the most; loved, cherished characters die almost as FOOTNOTES, and the way Rowling wrote the epilogue makes me feel as if she cheated herself out of a meaningful last couple of pages, instead choosing to go the path of a contrived, cliche fairy-tale ending where everything is perfect, because the bad guy is finally dead!

Rowling made an effort to have the books mature with her audience; you can see it in the dialogue and the style, but the fact of the matter is that she is first and foremost a children's author. The children who grew up reading her books are now in their late teens or early twenties, while the books are still children's books. They are incredibly sophisticated children's books, maybe slightly-simple young-adult novels at most, but they are still children's books nonetheless. The story is simply not going to reach us at age 20 as it did at age 13. 

I grew up with Harry Potter, and since I can satisfy myself with the fact that The Trio ends up with what they want/need, more or less, I can still cherish the memories I have of curling up in my bedroom at age twelve, clutching a cup of tea and not minding that it was a rainy Saturday, devouring the hardback novels that my Grandma sent me as soon as they showed up on the shelves. Read it for closure, if nothing else.

This series is still such a wonder. All these years, all these rereads later and I still sob. Always /*

4.7/5

Megan Jones

I was generally very pleased with the ending of this series.  I liked how Rowling incorporated minor details from previous books.  I definitely want to re-read the series at some point!  What I loved most was that characters finally grew in their dimensions, becoming much richer and more complex.  Hooray for Harry Potter!

** spoiler alert **
           damn...dumbledore did groom harry for death. but the self-awareness and the acknowledgement of it nullifies it a bit? or does it? did he have a choice though? going to have a night full of pondering if being a genius is ever worth it.

Nicole

I think it’s pretty obvious why this this book is a 5 star, right? I mean, it is Harry Potter
