Book Review

One of our patrons, Beatrice Brown, is acting as guest blogger to give us her review of the new Harry Potter book by J. K. Rowling. Beatrice doesn't give away the plot (but beware of spoilers!) Hopefully, we will be able to offer reviews from more of our younger patrons in the near future.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was one book that I did not want to put down. As soon as I opened the first page, I was drawn into Harry's next adventure. J. K. Rowling holds a level of suspense through out every part of the book.

The first chapter, like many other Harry Potter novels, does not begin in Harry's point of view. As the story progresses, Harry comes into the picture. Harry, who is just about to turn 17, is trying to figure himself out. Since Dumbledore died and Voldemort came back, the wizard world has been in turmoil. Voldemort's death eaters are trying to hunt Harry down and they are killing everyone in their path.

Harry has to make the tough decision of going after Voldemort or staying and following Dumbledore's orders of destroying all of the Horcruxes. Ron, Hermonie, and Harry decide to follow Dumbledore's orders which eventually lead them to Voldemort.

In this Harry Potter adventure, many questions are answered and many events happen that change everything. There is even an epilogue that tells about what happens to Harry 19 years later. So, instead of reading this, why don't you go out and borrow the book from the library and start Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!
