Personal Review : Harry Potter 7 “the deathly hallows”

I read “Harry Potter and the deathly hallows” for my book review. It’s the final book in the Harry Potter sequel. I expected a lot off this last one, and I can already say that most of my expectations were fulfilled. It’s a typical Harry Potter book, ones you start reading you can’t stop. And the start is always very good in the books. Its always a dark, cloudy chapter in the beginning which immediately pulls you into the story. This is a typical JK Rowling start. A very high amount of suspense in the beginning and then a slow story which builds op until the climax in the last chapters. But in this one she did something surprisingly new, she started as usual with the dark first chapter and then she went back slow. But instead of working up until the climax at the end she putted a very high amount of variety in the book. She went slow, fast, slow, back fast and so one … Doing this was a great idea because when she puts in the variety of a part slow telling and an part fast action she creates the feeling of constantly being chased. And that’s the whole point of this book. Harry needs to destroy all horcruxes without being captured by the Death eaters. J.K. Rowling wants the readers to feel like Harry, like they are too being chased and that they too have to fear for their live, and at the same time bury the heavy fate with Harry of saving the world. You just don’t get a pause in this book.

J.K. Rowling has also done a great thing as far as the content of the book. With the last book she explains all the questions off the previous books. Although I already guessed a lot off things right there were still some surprises left. Which was of course necessary, otherwise the book would be a bit boring. As far as I know is this book the most dramatic one off all Harry Potter books, people are dying around every corner. Characters you already known from the first book. When you see (read) them die it strikes you into your hart, it’s a bit like losing someone you already knew for quite some long time. But that’s what makes this book stand out, it’s the darkness and desperation that is making this book so realistic. The story happens in an ongoing war. Families are ripped apart, dear ones dies. It’s not a heroic guy that’s going to save the world with an eye blink, and no one dies or gets hurt. It’s just a normal guy like us ( leaving away the magical part) who has to make sacrifices, who has to suffer, who is also desperate just like the rest of the people in the war. And that’s what makes such a realistic hero, it could be every one of us.

The only negative thing for me was the last chapter. I think telling that Harry has kids now and that he has married his love and that Ron and Hermione are together and that they have kids to wasn’t a good thing. I have the feeling that it doesn’t fit in the book. If she didn’t had told this you would have this open end where he defeated the bad guy but where you still don’t know what he is going to do next, where he will work, if he’s going to marry Ginny,…. My personal opinion is that this end would be much better.

But still “Harry Potter and the deathly hallows” is one heck off a book and I enjoyed reading it till the bitter end.
