Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
by J. K. Rowling (about J K Rowling)
Review by Jonny Zetterström

In ten years or seven books Harry Potter has turned from a child into a fullgrown man or wizard. He’s a young adult with a mission: to save the wizardig world from lord Voldemort a k a He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named a k a the Dark Lord.

I fell in love with the magic world of Harry Potter years ago. I read the first books and had to wait for the next. The seventh and last book was recently released and fans where standing in line to get it. I bought it the same day, but it was a Saturday and I got some well-deserved sleep before going to the local bookstore.

In my first encounter with Harrys world he was about to turn eleven; he found out of the magic world and left for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In this book he turns seventeen and is thus of age and allowed to use magic.

Voldemort has attempted to cheat death by splitting his soul into multiple pieces and storing each piece in a special object called a horcrux. In each hurcrux his soul lives on and Harry has to destroy the remaining horcruxes in order to finally defeat Voldemort.

The wizarding world is turned upside down. The Death Eaters, followers of Voldemort, rule by terror and hunts down the mudbloods and muggleborns.

I have to admit I really didn’t like the sixth book that much. It seemed a bit too dark to me. But this one I really love.

The story brilliantly builds up from page to page towards the inevitable end.

Truely recommended reading.
