A review by melissa_k_reads
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling
5.0
And so, I unwillingly leave the world of Harry Potter. Again, I choked up at some of the less publicized (ie not in the movie) parts like Kreacher in the kitchen and the lovely mural on Luna's bedroom ceiling. Luna, truly a treasure, that one. For any who enjoyed the movies but have put off reading the books, some of the reasons why are far clearer in print.
January 2013 After all this time?
Always.
This is, interestingly, only the second time I have read the final book. Rowling really outdid herself and although the movies of this book were very good, the book is oh-so-much better. Her detail, her ability to wrap up the entire series with the big questions answered and the plot lines all completed, how she went back to bits and pieces several stories previous to tie it all up...fantastic. And she did it without being trite about the whole thing. Reading Deathly Hallows, I do not feel that she rushed to conclusion, or forced any plots. Knowing the various losses in advance, I do start crying well ahead of each one. ah well
