Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

J.K. Rowling’s style of writing somehow always leaves me transfixed on her book, failing to stop and rest my eyes. I always find myself staying up late just to finish one of her books. This time, the book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows left me with a myriad of questions. What happened to James, Lily, and Albus Severus? What happened to Luna, Neville, George, Hagrid, and all the other secondary main characters? Most people think that a book that leaves off a part, letting you imagine the rest, is a well written book. I disagree, I would very much rather get the facts about what happened. Though I can imagine what happened, you never know if it really happened or not. Basically I just rather have the facts then having to imagine, or in other words, guess what happened later on. Out of all the great authors of whom their books I read, J.K. Rowling is my one of my all-time favorite authors. The other one is Christopher Paolini, the author of The Inheritance series, which includes Eragon and Eldest. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the last book to the Harry Potter book series. I have read all the other books in the series and I have always loved them.

In this book, I feel that Harry is thinking too much of himself and thinking that he has to find the Horcruxces and do what Dumbledore told him to do all by himself. Luckily, Hermione and Ron are both there, and they help him realize that he isn’t the only one that can do what Dumbledore had said. I wonder why the Horcrux chose the affect Ron the most. Maybe it was because he seemed more vulnerable than Hermione or Harry. Maybe it was because he had more doubts that had a strong possibility of becoming true. The thing is, how did the Horcrux know to choose Ron? I never thought that it had a mind of its own. Once a Horcrux is made, isn’t it separate from the person who made it? Well, it’s the last book, so I can’t really find out much about it anymore. I really enjoyed this book and I can’t help but read it over and over again.
