Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

J.K. Rowling’s fantasy book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (book 7), takes place in the wizarding world in the 1990’s – a place where magical wands exist, and where witches and wizards belong. Harry Potter, the main character of the book, is in the middle of the biggest wizarding war of history. The darkest wizard, Voldemort, wants to kill Harry, and then take over the entire wizarding world! Harry is in a lot of danger, and doesn’t have a lot of time to figure out how to destroy all seven components of Voldemort’s soul (horcruxes). One important lesson this book suggests is that, sometimes the choices we make are not always to save ourselves, but to protect the loved ones that surround us. From the very beginning, to the very end of…

In fifth grade, I decided to make it my goal to read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Yes, I realize this isn’t the first book and when reading series we should start at the beginning, but I was in fifth grade, my idea of a series was a bunch of short stories put in different books with no connection to the past short stories or the future short stories other than the characters. Anyway, I chose the Harry Potter book because both of my older sisters knew all the movies that had been…

Good morning. Welcome to the book show. I will be discussing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, by J.K. Rowling. I enjoy reading because; "When you sell a book, you don't just sell ink and paper, you sell a whole new life." This quote is true for me because books a a very large part of my life. I started reading for pleasure at a very young age. People complain when they don't get to join a character in their journey, but we did, and the journey will start again when you reread. When Harry…

The Harry Potter films are one of the biggest and most successful franchises in the world. The eight part film series came to a thrilling and exhilarating end in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part Two directed by David Yates. The film uses all of its resources, not just acting but cinematography, editing, and music as well, to keep the viewer engaged and at the edge of their seats as the culminating battle of the series unfolds before their eyes. While the film certainly succeeds in…

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the concept of coming full circle- or having a plot point that evolves and eventually recurs later in the story transpires multiple times. This concept is present through the use of parallel characters, themes, opinions and plots. An example being, Neville and Peter Pettigrew. Both small, somewhat nervous, young wizards that the sorting hat miraculously places into gryffindor- the house of bravery- and have popular, somewhat famous friends. Even with…

In the novel Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, J.K. Rowling uses characterization to show the amount of loyalty that several of the characters have towards Harry Potter, and to prove that sometimes friends, even those thought to be enemies, can sometimes be more loyal than one’s own blood. J.K. Rowling shows the loyalty that Harry Potter’s friends have towards him through characters like Albus Dumbledore, Ron Weasley, and Dobby. Rowling also shows that even those who are understood to be…

“All was well.” (Rowling, 759) is how the Harry Potter series comes to an end. While the adventure may have ended happily, most of the series was full with dark, heinous plots and themes. Much of The Deathly Hallows focuses on the theme of good and evil, a theme which, more often than not, can allude to the good vs. evil theme strewn throughout The Bible. While the conflict between Harry and Voldemort allude to the one of the most famous conflicts in the Bible- Jesus vs. Satan, there are many…

In the book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, they finally kill Voldemort and defeat all the Death-Eaters. Earlier however, the Death-Eaters Are winning the battle, they take over the ministry, and start saying that muggle-born’s are dangerous, and should not be allowed to use magic. Professor Snape has been appointed headmaster of Hogwarts, even though he has already killed Dumbledore. Most of the kids that are not supposed to be at Hogwarts are not; they either fled the country, or made…

The movie Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, is more about loyalty than betrayal. This is because of Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, Severus Snape, and the Students of Hogwarts. First of all, Ron and Hermione show their loyalty to Harry Potter. They go with Harry to Hogwarts. When Neville tells them what Hogwarts is like he says, “The grounds are crawling with Death Eaters and Dementors” (Yates). The Death Eaters are all currently looking for the trio, and if they find them…

The scene that I have composed a song to appears in ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2’. The scene takes place after (SPOILER ALERT!) Severus Snape is killed and Harry collects some of his memories into a vial. Harry then pours Snape’s memories into a pensieve to re-watch them. Snape’s memories take us back to his childhood and when he first meets Harry’s mother, Lily. The full scene is absolutely heart-wrenching as you watch Snape’s feelings grow for a girl that does not reciprocate…
