Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

This one is the last and the best edition of the Harry Potter series from J. K Rowling. Harry Potter fans have waited eagerly for this edition which will be the final note and the climax, but the fact that the story has come to an end and there will be no Harry Potter books again, has let down the fans. The fact that makes this one stand out among the rest is the author's inspiration from world history and mythology. You keep expecting similar turn overs like the previous stories, but the author has stunned the readers with stunning twists in the story line.

The book was long awaited as there were clues left in the earlier episode that Voldemort, the Dark Lord has returned to power and even Dumbledore, the savior and the principal at Hogwarts Schools of Wizardry. The book begins with the first chapter which is about the ascending of the dark lord. This has helped to capture the attention of the readers in the first title. Harry, Ron and Hermione have to find the last Horcrux to defeat 'He Who Must Not Be Named'. The Horcruxes make Voldemort immortal.

The prisoners from the Azkaban jail are released along with the Dementors who now support their Dark Lord. They even find their way into the Ministry of Magic. As the story proceds, there comes up stunning revelations and twists in the story when Rita Skeeter, a journalist exposes about the notorious past of Dumbledore. This leaves Harry with the task of bringing light into the past of Dumbledore and revealing the reality. Yet, there are several factors that will leave you with unanswered questions. What was actually the intention of Severus Snape? Why did he kill Dumbledore even though he was mingled with Dumbledore in tracking the moves of Lord Voldemort? The climax is yet a surprising and stunning one.

Like most of the other bestseller stories, this one also should have Harry Potter win the battle, but the turn of the events and the fight for life is extremely enchanting. The story has several new surprises thrown at the readers bringing life to the book. The story on a whole, even though it is fiction, has tried to establish a link with the real world, setting several examples like the position and sufferings of the goblins and house elves and their profound role in fighting against the evil. As a continuation of the teenage life of Voldemort, the story talks about how his insecurities lead him to do evil things and changed his life entirely.

The plot of the story was able to attract readers young and old. The story has been well laid since the first edition and there has not been many mysteries left unexplained. Everything unfolds in a very typical manner with high levels of imagery. The climax has been well structured ending by depicting the life of Hermione married to Ron and Ginny with Harry. The story gives several good lessons of love, courage, friendship and the power to fight evils.
