Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

After 10 years of reading Harry Potter, of theorizing about the characters and their fates, after watching their favorite books become their favorite movies, the Harry Potter fandom expected a lot from the final book.

J.K. Rowling did not fail to deliver.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows takes on a scope far broader and deeper than any of the preceding books. Taken out of the safe haven of Hogwarts, the trio have to come to terms with their own faults and deal with each other to complete a quest that has spanned seven novels: destroying the Dark Lord.

In portraying the wizarding world at war, J.K. Rowling shows how uniformly human we all are--muggles, wizards and squibs alike. There are certain themes like prejudice and spite that are bound to pop up whether people duel with wands or weapons of mass destruction (if indeed they aren't the same thing).

Though Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the last book in the epic series, the magic of Harry Potter is still very much alive.
