Book Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

After 6 days I finally finished the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. My reactions? It was great! It was actually very thrilling from the moment you read the first chapter up until it ends. J.K. Rowling definitely made Harry Potter’s world seem so real that even reading it would take you to the action. A lot of deaths happened, but I really think they were necessary. I also loved how all characters and places came full circle on this book. Really, really good! The only negative thing I would like to comment about is that the Epilogue was somewhat ‘cheesy’. I liked it, but somehow there was something in the writing on that epilogue that makes it like tasteless. Anyways, I really liked it. And this is easily one of the best books in the series (after Prisoner of Azkaban, of course.) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: 8.5/10

Deathly Hallows is here!

After months of waiting and anticipation, I now hold in my hands the pivotal seventh and final Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I actually wanted to go to the 3:01am launch here, but I guess I’m too lazy to get that early. Anyways, I immediately went to the book store early that day to get my copy (I even got a free paper bag and a bookmark). Thankfully, they were selling US versions here (it is the version I collect). I started reading the moment I went home. Now I’m on Chapter 11, if only I had nothing else to do I would have finished the book right away. But at least I have the copy. *Mischief Managed* Hehe! I’ll be posting my insights on the book once I’ve finished reading it.

On being an Harry Potter fan

As I count down the days until unenviable release of the last harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, I’m so eager to as what the book will reveal. Who will die? What happens with everyone after? Is Dumbledore really dead? Many of these questions linger through my mind as I excitedly wait for the July 21^st release date. Harry Potter was the reason I started to read books. Now that I’ve got my copy reserved I couldn’t wait what the last installment has in store for of us “HP Fanatics”… I’m probably more excited on the book than the movie, but that does not mean I wouldn’t watch the film. I’ll do it all on the same day. Ironically since the theater and the bookstore stands right beside each other… I wish I had better halves with me here to celebrate the 7^th book and the 5^th movie. Raissa and Kate, I wish you were here. It seems I cannot relate to one but you guys when it comes to Harry Potter. Now the decision I have to make is what would I do first? Read the book or watch the film? Ah decisions, decisions... No wonder some people find me weird. Hehehe.
