HARRY POTTER and THE DEATHLY HALLOWS

I know.. i should have been studying.. Yeah.. But somehow i didn't study for the past few days.
The culprit??? The latest Harry Potter book~

I was walking up the staircase of sch library, mentally prepared to mug, then... this book on the 'New Arrivals' shelf caught my eye as i walked past it. i was like Wow.. latest book leh.. Since when the sch lib's so "in", stock up on the popular books ^^ So i picked up the book & decided to browse thru it. Then...
I know it.. U guessed it.. Just got hooked on the book, ended up borrowing it home & read a total of 22 chapters *gasps* within that afternoon + night (till 1am)

I'd read all the books in the series except the Half-Blood Prince, there's 2 copies in the sch lib, but i dun intend to even touch them as i know i'll be hooked on it. Haha sounds like some spell emitting from the books?

I still arent sure whats a Hallow, much less a Deathly Hallow.. But it doesnt matter, i bet many kids all around the world have not come across the word in their entire lives.
Many many people died in the book, J K Rowling certainly showed her determination to end the series.. Bid goodbye to Mad Eye Moody, Nymphadora & Ted Tonks, Remus Lupin, Fred Weasley, Lord Voldemort and many more.
The storyline's quite engaging~ More dramatic. Better than the Order of Phoenix (5th book), which was really long and winding, i couldnt wait to finish it, yet i experienced difficulties in trying to finish it. I wonder how kids handle such a thick & heavy book, cant hold it up & read like any other paperback novels.
The story shows depth & i admire Rowling's writing style, makes fantasy comes alive! As the last book in the instalment, many details & events were re-told with revelations of previously well-kept secrets & stories. Dumbledore may not be alive in Book 7, but his presence is greatly felt & of great importance to Harry Potter. In the end, i think readers will admire his intelligence, ability to make accurate predictions that helped to bring about the downfall of the Dark Lord. Fascinating~ The ending somewhat fits the bill of a children's book, happy ending lalala~
Last chapter is about 'Nineteen years later'... Harry Potter married Ginny Weasley & had 3 kids, named after his parents & 2 Hogwarts Headmasters (Albus Severus Potter) hahah.. Ron married Hermonie & was so glad that their kids inherited Hermonie's intelligence =p

Hehe.. If u have some time, do read the book... Even if u dont have time (like me: with A Levels looming over my head), do speed-read thru =p


Cloud Loves Harry Potter, oh dun be mistaken! I meant the series of 7 books
