Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows – Review

August 16, 2007 · Filed Under Books, Harry Potter · 98 Comments 

Harry Potter and deathly HallowsFinally I have finished the book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7). One of the best books I have ever read in my life. Here I?d like to share some thoughts about this book and the movie Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Believe me I won?t make any spoilers here.

Usually HP stories starts in Private drive, but in this book story starts in Malfoy?s house. The whole story is dark and bloody, anyway with voldermort what else can we expect???

In this book Ron and Hermonie drop the school and join with Harry Potter to hunt the horcruxes down. In the mean while they learn about Deathly Hallows as well (I can?t talk about Deathly Hallows, since it?ll lead me to a spoiler).

Snape is also playing a key role in this story, I wont? talk much because again it?ll lead to a spoiler. However here many myths about Snape, Lily potter was revealed by Rowling.

Not like the book 5, Harry Potter and the Order (Though it?s my fav book till I read the final book) of the phoenix this book is moving on a breathless pace. Finally there is a war between death eaters and rest of the innocent wizard community.

Order, DD Army, some well wishers join together and fight against the dark lord and his armies in Hogwarts school. Anyway you can easily predict the end of the story, Hats off to Rowling for this fantastic book.

All in all it?s a wonderful book!

Let?s talk about the movie OOP movie. It?s indeed a total disaster. Movie is nothing compare to the book. Many scenes that I have expected are either cut-off or narrowed down. So sad so sad.

May be it?s a problem when converting books into movies, but Lord of the rings is a good example how to convert a book into a movie.

Though you?ll watch this movie for sure, it?s not worth watching this movie.
