Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Oh well.. Finally the long anticipated book has been released.. For those who haven't read the book, but intend to, I strongly suggest you not to read on.. Haha!!

---- YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK---



Children Version of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Adult Version of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Ok, this book is all about solving the mysteries that has been hovering around from book 1 to book 6.. A lot of mysteries are solved and many ppl are killed! No doubt about it.. And I can assure you, most of the rumours that have been flying here and there has been all lies and not a single drop of truth in it!



SPOILER AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
--------------------------------------------------

(1) Ok, first of all I would like to salute J.K. Rowling, in keeping the story in the dark for most of the year, risking her credibility by not letting anyone, even the Customs check her luggage just because her manuscript is in there.


The plot itself is pretty good and well organized.. This shows that Rowling has been planning for the whole plot since the writing of the first book.. Everything just seems to fall into place..


(2) Secondly, I would like to express my suprise.. Cause this morning at 730am i went to Borders to collect my copy, and it is almost empty! What happened to all the queues and all the crowds and... You get what i mean! So, I plainly grabbed the book, paid the remaining 20bucks and went home to read.. Lol!!


(3) Thirdly, this is the book which has the most deaths! Let's see now.. Remind me if I miscalculated!

Remus Lupin

Nyphamdora Tonks

Rubues Hagrid

Fred Weasley

Tom Marvolo Riddle(most commonly known as Lord Voldermort)

Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody

Rufus Scrimgeour

Severus Snape

Goyle

I must have missed some, cause I remembered it to be more..


(4) Oh yeah, in case you missed it, I didn't mentioned Harry Potter, nor Ron Weasley, nor Hermione Granger in the list! Cause they didn't bloody die! Unlike the suspicion that has been circulating around for sometime! LOL!!


The final chapter is pretty confusing at first, cause Harry has decided to name his kids Lily, James and Albus Severus! And he told Albus Severus that he is named after two of Hogwarts' best headmasters! LOL! That is so confusing! Wonder what it feels like calling your kids name by your parents name..


(5) Mysteries unveiled!

Countless of mysteries are unveiled and the location of the Hocruxes and how to destroy it are revealed throughout the 607 pages of the book..

The location of Hufflepuff''s cup: Never would I think it is in Bellatrix Lestrange's bank account and that is the reason why the cover of the children edition is plenty of gold..

The identity of the last Hocruxes: Well, we get to know that Ravenclaw's lost diadem(some sort of tiara) is a Hocrux, and amazingly, Harry himself is a Hocrux! Amazing right!!! Read the book for more details!

You may ask why the adult version shows Harry is dead... Well, Harry is "dead" for a moment there.. Pretty confusing I agree... Have to read that part a few times..

Snape's betrayal: Alas! He finally die... But before his death, he gave Harry part of his memory.. Pretty informative on why Dumbledore dies and why he turned side..

How to destroy Hocruxes: According to Hermione, the only way is by destroying the Hocrux beyond repair..

Way 1: By using rare and antidote-hard-to-obtain- poisons, like the Basilisk Venom which Harry used to destroy the diary.

Way 2: By using the sword of Godric Gryffindor, which Harry has used to kill the Basilisk and has some of the venom on it...

Way 3: By using some sort of fire.. Forgot the name.. Something like Lynxfyre or something like that...

The meaning of the Title: Deathly Hallows, is three objects which can prevent the possessor from dying.. The Elder Wand, The Resurrection Stone and The Cloak of Invisibility... The Cloak is Harry's Invisibility cloak, which is quite suprisingly! The Resurrection Stone is Marvolo's ring, and the Elder Wand is Dumbledore's wand! Wow!! Read the book to know more!!


(6) Neville's personality has changed totally in this book.. From a coward we see in book One, he changed into someone who can stand up against the tyranny of the "teachers", and in the end, becomes a Professor! In which subject, we can all guess...



Ok.. Wouldn't want to spoil it anymore! Haha!!


In total, I think this book is pretty infomative, and it ended quite stunningly, unlike the way most suppose it will be...


Every Harry Potter supporters should read this book! And i mean EVERYONE!!!
