Book Review: The epic finale of Harry Potter

Submitted by tiffanie.miley on

A massive hunt for dark objects and mysterious signs in a book are what await Harry and his two best friends as they conclude their epic story. With Professor Dumbledore gone, they must continue his mission to stop Lord Voldemort, but this is no picnic. Ministry Wizards and Death Eaters have set a ten thousand galleon price on Harry’s head so he and his friends must embark on their journey in secret. Leaving the wizarding world in wonder of what has happened to them, Harry, Ron, and Hermione go on an adventure to end this epic series.

Many of Harry’s most devoted fans are very sad to see the ending of this amazing series. Rebecca Morrison, and eighth-grader, said, “This series was pure genius. Totally amazing!” I have to agree with her. Harry Potter has been a constant presence in libraries across the world. J.K. Rowling has amazing talent in making her readers feel for her characters in a way that when it’s all over they miss them.

The suspense in this book was incredible. You never knew how it was going to end, would good triumph or would evil dominate good? The foreshadowing was so amazing; J.K. Rowling really knew what she was doing. The book was so well written that you could understand what was going on. Nobody can deny that this was a perfect ending to this incredible series.

Harry Potter fans all over the world applauded when they found out that the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows movie was going to be made in two parts. Before many of them would wonder gloomily about what the directors and producers would edit out in order to make it work, but they perked up when hearing that it was to be made in two parts.

On night of the November 18th, Potter fans all over the U.S.A. waited in long lines or dark hall ways waiting for the moment to finally be here. It was fantastic. No one can deny that this one was the best out of all of the movies. It broke its own records earning, $125.1 million at the box office on opening night. Those people who can say that it was a terrible movie probably didn’t read the book, which is crucial when wanting to see the movie.

I thought that the book was incredible. A perfect way to end the world’s greatest series. I was very sad though when I had finished it, I had nothing to do afterward, so what did I do? I read it again. Amanda Ripley, an eighth-grader at SJHS, has now read this series 37 times, and still enjoys every moment of it.

Even the teachers at SJHS love Harry Potter. Mrs. Luke, the foods teacher at SJHS, said, “The movie was extremely accurate. All of the important details were there.” Mrs. Luke said she likes Harry Potter because it has good morals.

Even though the epic series is going to be over soon, Potter Fans know that Hogwarts and Harry’s world does exist, because the magic isn’t in a building or a movie, the magic is everywhere; in the memories and people we hold dear to us.

In any students are interested in reading this series, the books may be found at any library in the U.S. To all the Potter fans, GO HARRY POTTER!
