Harry Potter Series, Book 7
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Author:J. K. Rowling
Genre:Wizards/ Fiction
Publisher:Scholastic
Year Published:2007


Dumbledore is dead, and war has come to Hogwarts. Harry realizes that survival hinges not only on finding all the horcruxes, but also in finding the deathly hallows.

Although Harry would rather face the danger alone, his friends are determined to stand by him. For this he would eventually be thankful, for Voldemort's defeat would not have been possible without their help.

The last chapter takes the reader forward in time to find out how the characters have transitioned into adulthood. This chapter opens the probability of starting another series based on the characters, probably not written by Rowling, but with her permission.

This book is a better than expected end to the series. I was dreading it was a bad one since the last 2 to 3 books weren't as good as the first three in my opinion.

I wonder ... once discussion over this book is finished in a year or less, would the forums and fanfictions dedicated to Harry Potter slowly die a natural death with the waning of interest? Especially after the 7th movie has been made and shown? That was what happened with a number of LOTR forums.
