Summary:
In the final installment of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter must confront Voldemort for the final time.Throughout the course of the book, Harry struggles to save his friends and family, while taking care of his dark past. No longer at Hogwarts, Harry sets out with Ronald Weasely and Hermione Granger in order to thwart various evils and finally put and end to "He who must not be named". Harry also is challenged by love and straining friendships that demand his concentration, slowing his efforts. The public eye also sees him as a fugitive and liar, propaganda spread by the completely corrupt Ministry of Magic. Ultimately, Harry and all of his allies must band together to lay the evil within the world, and Harry's heart at rest.
Review:
I have always loved this series, but this installment is the greatest of all. Action consumes the book within the first few chapters, and remains throughout the novel, never leaving a dull moment for readers. Age old conflicts become resolved, and mysteries revealed. Though the book is pretty straight-forward, unless you have never read any other in the series, the plot details are fully alive and exciting. It is also a break from the mundane scene of Hogwarts, as Harry travels to many key places, often ones directly tied to Voldemort himself. One piece of this book that disinterested me however, was the epilogue. It seems as though J.K. Rowling was forced to write it, that her editors demanded a cheesy, predictable future. I won't say too much on it though, as recalling the epilogue makes me want to give up reading forever. Despite this enourmous flaw, the book is a must-have for any one already in love with the series.
Quote:
"'Tell me one thing,' said Harry. 'Is this real? Or has this been happening inside my head?' -page 723I picked this quote because it shows how Harry's conflict is within him as well as around him. his fight with Voldemort strains him physically throughout the series, as well as mentally. Perhaps his biggest problems do lie

I too am a Harry Potter reader and this was one of my favorite of the seven novels. It was heard to stop reading it at some points because it was so interesting and it involved the reader to such a great extent. I as a reader of this series think that the books are far greater than any of the movies and are worth the time in reading them. I like the quote the reader chose because I agree that it describes the internal and external conflicts that Harry must endure.
