Harry Potter and the Deathly HallowsI have read this book too many times and finally decided to give it a review. This is the first time that I am really engrossed in a book and even forgot my meals. Well, I’m sure all Harry Potter fans out there is waiting for this ending a long time ago.

I was anxious too. Finally, this book came out and nobody else have to worry anymore. That’s all of Harry Potter the Final Battle.

This book is not as long as the Order of Phoenix and Half-blood Prince but it really ties up all the knots. As usual, Harry needs to face his usual nemesis, Lord Voldemort who sought for his life. With the help of his best friends, Hermione and Ron, the trio searched for the Horcruxes. They met a lot of obstacles along the way but they still managed to know more about the dark secrets of Voldemort. They even discovered the Deathly Hallows which both sides are seeking. Finally, they managed to destroy some of the Horcruxes and eventually seek for the last remaining two parts of Voldemort’s soul back at Hogwarts. This lead to final battle between the good and evil. Voldemort wanting to kill Harry and Harry figuring the last of the Horcruxes. That is the end for Harry when he figured out what he needed to do to end all this. He is destined to die in the hands of Voldemort in order to kill Voldemort.

Harry Potter once again thwarted Lord Voldemort who was too evil and obsessed with power to care about the important things in life such as love. Thus, he lost the battle and was forced to live helplessly.

The ending is filled with a epilogue of a scene at King Cross’s station nineteen years later when the trio have started their own families and sending their kids off.

I personally think that the ending is not enough as some blanks are not filled in. I want to know more about what happened during the nineteen years and more romantic stuff. Well, it will be weird for J.K Rowling to write another book especially for this blank.

So overall, this is a great book and satisfying ending for all readers.
