Harry Potter : THe Deathly Hallows

I have just finished Harry Potter the 7th Book after someone got for us for a mere RM30! Lucky eh..

 

Anyway, this is what I thought about the Deathly Hallows!

 

Awesomely written! Brilliant!

Ending is like always, is as expected. The Man has always been saying that I spoilt few movies too much, that I knew the endings too soon. He emphasized on enjoying the journeys than the endings, but I laughed. But this is one book whose journey I enjoyed reading.

 

We knew very well Harry will live and marry Ginny. We knew Ron will Hermione. We knew very well that Snape is actually a good guy eventhough he appeared bad (and at the same trying to appear bad) since Book 1. That is the ending, people, you knew it since Book 3. But read Deathly Hallows and it is much more than the ending that you are seeking.

 

Technically, Rowlings presented us two to four chapters of the kids being idle, then one chapter full of battle. The constant ups and downs of the battles between the good and the evil are beautifully mixed and climaxed at just the right time. Made you feel the way you feel when you first started reading The Sorcerer's Stone a few years back.

 

I sort of gave up on Rowlings after Order of Phoenix and worst, Half Blood Prince. For me, Half Blood Prince (that I paid more for being in the waiting list before the pre-release) was badly written. None of it made sense. Little things happen didn't get to be explained towards the end. But the Deathly Hallows explained it all. Deathly Hallows even made me wanna read Half Blood Prince all over again, even so I despised Half Blood so much before.

 

Rowlings does get her claws back!! And I have no surprise that people will ask her to write for more.

 

(For you who are not the fan of Harry Potters, this is the list of the series)

 

1. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (or some titled it the Philosopher's Stone) - movie made but go read the book. It is less than 1 inch thick but it is the most wonderful book. Made you think of sekolah asrama for those who have been to boarding schools.

 

2. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - movie made but I still like the book

 

3. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. - movie made, thickness still less than an inch

 

4. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - thickness start coming in, I did start getting bored

 

5.Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix. - still thick, more boredom, movie made, not yet seen

 

6. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - like I said, the worst of all

 

7. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - i'll write as how Rowlings ended it, All is well.
