AUGH!!! I don’t know what to think about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! I hated it as I loved it.
Things I loved:
The storyline
J.K. Rowling’s way of writing (she really knows how to connect items throughout the books)
The ending
Things I hated:
She killed so many good people!!!!!
She killed so many good people!!!!!
Characters:
Harry: Starting in the fifth book, Harry had really turned into an arrogant snot, but in this book he’s so awesome!
Hermione: She’s definitley my favorite character. She’s really sensible, keeps her head in desperate situations, and knows what to pack when going on a trip!
Ron: Probably one of my least favorite characters. He’s extremely tempermental (with emphasis on the mental), and at one point in the book I just wanted to slap him.
Ginny: She’s so sweet.
Snape: You know, I gained a lot of respect for him in this book.
Well, anyway, I don’t really know what else to tell you, because I don’t want to spoil anything for the two people haven’t finished the book or heard how it turns out already. Let’s see: Harry turns 17, Voldemort’s name is Tabooed, and George — never mind. It is the grimmest and darkest book that Rowling has written so far, and it’s very intriguing. I think that’s all I can say without giving anything away, so …
Ciao for now!!
I thought it was pretty good. I was really impressed that the over all message wasn’t about Harry being a better, more powerful wizard, but about Harry having better character.
I don’t know that she’s gonna be able to go long without writing another story, the money is just to tempting.
I can see Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione taking on some alien imperial stormtroopers from a galaxy far, far away that invades earth, led by the evil lord Darth Voldermort.
Now that would be a good story.
You ought to read my post “How I Met Harry Potter” in my blog Go Free Now – Feb ’06
I don’t want to get into an argument with you, so I’m just going to state how I feel about it. I can understand how alot of people feel that witchcraft is bad (and it is!), and so people won’t let their children read the books, but I think that it’s all about your state of mind. If you read it while thinking, “Oh my gosh, this is so cool I wish I could do magic”, then you’re probably going to get WAY to interested. BUT, if you read it with, “ok, witchcraft is against God’s law, this is just something slightly interesting to read about”, then you’ll probably be fine. I can’t argue with personal experience, but I don’t think that Harry Potter is bad or evil, it’s just what you choose to let it be.
Maybe we’ll have to agree to disagree on that.
Oh, and there are small spiritual references in the 7th book.
Small spiritual references? I thought they were kind of large actually. But I don’t want to get in an argument with you over that. 😉
Ok, some of them were pretty obvious, but others weren’t.
Dear Miss Lilly,
You are a tender flower, and at such an age, where I could never engage in an argument. That’s why I just shared my post.
