Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling - Book Review

When Voldemort starts taking over the wizarding world and everything looks bleak, will Harry be able to stop him, making the ultimate sacrifice?

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the final book in Rowling’s series. In this one, the Golden Trio go on a mad hunt for the Horcruxes—a task Dumbledore entrusted them with, before his death.

With everything hanging in the balance, they don’t only need to successfully carry out their mission to honor Dumbledore’s wish, but also the fate of the whole wizarding world depends on them. During their arduous journey, they stumble upon ancient magic: the Deathly Hallows whose owner becomes the master of death itself.

Rowling sets a completely different tone in this book; Harry, Ron, and Hermione are no longer children who attend a school and learn fancy “magic tricks.” They had to grow up tremendously in this adventure, and their struggle to move away from adolescence to adulthood is masterfully depicted.

Because, they leave their families, and the safe environment Hogwarts and Dumbledore provided all those years, they sometimes start cracking under pressure and even turn against each other. The concept of Horcruxes is also developed in this one, as we follow the trio on their journey to destroy the seven Horcruxes that provide Voldemort with semi-immortality.
