Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows

I spent the last couple of days reading the latest Harry Potter book.


In this book, it seems like a lot of things happen. Harry's owl, Moody, Snape and Dobby were killed. Then Harry inherited Godric Gryffindor's sword because Dumbledore willed it to him. But he was not allowed to have the sword because the Ministry claims that it did not belong to Dumbledore. Later a Patronus led him to the sword but as he was about to take it, the Horcrux (a part of Voldemort's soul) in a form of a locket strangled him. (The Ministry used the Polyjuice Potion on Umbridge to recover the Horcrux). When the locket was strangling Harry, Ron came to the rescue and destroyed the Horcrux with the sword. Another Horcrux was found in Gringotts in the form of Helge Hufflepuff's Cup (destroyed by Hermione) and another one at The Room of Requirement at Hogwarts where Harry used to hide his potions book. The diadem at the Room of Requirement was destroyed by Crabbe accidentally and he also killed himself. Later Harry discovered that he was also a Horcrux. This happened when Harry was a baby and Voldemort used Harry's blood with Lily's protection to resurrect himself. So this means that Voldemort cannot die if Harry is alive. So Harry went to the Forbidden Forest to find Voldemort. Then he opened the snitch that Dumbledore gave him and found the Resurrection Stone inside. He used it to awaken the spirits of his parents, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. Then he allowed Voldemort to strike him with the Avada Kedavra curse (the worst of all the Unforgivable Curses and causes immediate death). Later, Harry woke up in the King's Cross Station and Dumbledore said that the Horcrux in him has been destroyed. The last Horcrux was Nagini who was killed by Neville with the sword. Dumbledore's wand was an Elder Wand which is the most powerful wand. When Malfoy disarmed Dumbledore, he became the master of the wand unknowingly. So when Harry took Malfoy's wand (Hermione accidentally broke Harry's wand), Harry became the new master. When Voldermort stroke Harry with the Avada Kedavra curse, the wand protected its master and the curse backfired and together with Harry's Expelliarmus spell killed Voldermort. The book ended with what happened nineteen years later. Harry married Ginny and had three children, James, Albus Severus and Lily. Ron married Hermione and had two children, Rose and Hugo. Neville became a Herbology professor. It's a happy ending in the end with all the bad people dead and the good people living happily ever after.

For those who haven't read the book, I hope I didn't spoil it for you :p

It's a fairly interesting book. And I didn't actually said everything that happened in the book because then it will be really long. Like I didn't say why the owl, Moody, Dobby and Snape were killed and how they were killed. Though I was really tempted to put in the one about the death of Snape. Why he was killed and so on. But I'm gonna let you read the book to find out yourself.

Yours,

Aaron
