Twelve years ago, J.K. Rowling introduced us to Harry Potter, The scrawny eleven year old boy with the lightning-shaped scar who lived under the spider-infested cupboard at Privet Drive. In the past six books, we've seen him face a three-headed dog, attend a death day party, travel back in time, take on a Hungarian Horntail dragon, experience his first kiss and come face to face with the evil incarnate himself,Lord Voldemort. It has been a fun and fascinating journey into the wizarding world. With the seventh book out, we get to see the grand finale, the conclusion to the epic tale of the The Boy Who Lived.
The Deathly Hollows is packed with action and suspense. The duels and encounters are very nicely written and well-described that you could vividly imagine the scenes as if you were actually watching a movie. All the narrow escapes, close calls and various twists get your pulse racing and keep you glued to the book.It's fast-paced and exciting, always making you wonder what's in store for Harry and his friends. Every turn of the page brings a mixture of trepidation and anticipation, and at the back of your mind you can't help but wonder who will die next, what the mysteries meant and whether Harry or Voldemort will triumph in the end.
Reading the last book left a bittersweet feeling. It was like saying goodbye to an old friend but at the same time I was happy that an epic story was finally coming full circle. Reading the first few chapters gave off a feeling of nostalgia. There were so many elements from the previous books that Rowling made references of:
Harry's first snitch, the "Potter Stinks" badge, his "I must not tell lies" scar and Sirius' mirror, among many others. In addition, lots of characters from previous books make their reappearance. It felt like the remaining puzzle pieces have been finally put in place and you can see how all the elements from the seven books are interconnected. Most loose ends were tied. But there were things, I presumed, that Rowling decided should be left to the reader. Overall, I loved the final book. Yes, admittedly some questions were left unanswered but it was a fantastic ending to a wonderful series. Indeed, in the end, all was well.
