Fantasy Book Review

The Deathly Hallows, by J.K. Rowling

Genre: Fantasy
Year published: 2007
Book number: 7

My opinion: It's time for the seventh and last book of the popular youth fantasy serie by J.K Rowling, and my expectations are very high for this book. When i sat down, and started to read this book, i expected nothing but an magical and exciting time. Now Harry Potter was gonna beat Voldemort down for once, and i expected that it would be a fearsome and dangerous fight between them with their wands in the end. It was not all like that, but very near.
The book starts with Voldemort and his companions discussing what to do with Harry Potter, Voldemort decidec to finish him himself. Afterwards Harry looks back on the death of Albus Dumbledoor, his best friend. But troughtout the book he discovers that he has held much back from him, and he starts to think bad thoughs of him. He had got an assignemnt before he died from him, to destroy all the malaxcrux'es that Voldemort plans use to evil plans. Then the story unfolds with a journey Hermine, Ronny and Harry will unveil in the rest of the book.
In the end, they destroy all the malacruxes, but then Voldemort and his army attack Galtvort. The fight is long, and Voldemort and his army looks to win. But they will spare Galtvort if they give him Harry, and Harry accept. Voldemort unleash a spell upon him, and Harry fake his death. Then Harry wakes up when Voldemort least expect it, and kill him with a spell. Not what i would have in mind in the final fight, but i think Rowling knows what she does.
So, a bit dissapointing end, but a book with magic, excitement, and a plot that is very interesting. This book is good for young readers in the age of 13 to 16, but don't expect to find any great fantasy in here.
Rating: 7,5/10
