Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, not long ago freed on July 21, 2007, is undoubtedly the most widely-anticipated book of the year, completing Harry’s seven-year traveling through the wizarding world to confront his nemesis Lord Voldemort, along with a host of other issues. With any finale of such a monumental and popular series, there are bound to be victories, disappointments, criticisms, and praise for closely each plot decision made by the author. The final product, though, is a remarkable end to the Harry Potter series, and a fitting conclusion to the difficultnesses raised in the former books.

After reading the former book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, a heap of plot lines had been invented that left me worried when it comes to J. K. Rowling’s capacity to wrap them all up neatly and provide a satisfying conclusion in one more book. The issue of Harry Potter finding the remaining Horcruxes in the space of one book, while it had taken the former six to locate and destruct only two Horcruxes seemed the most pressing issue. Additionally, the fact that no one, including Harry and Dumbledore, were rather sure what the Horcruxes were and where they would be located staged an even more evident problem. Furthermore, Rowling employed the theme of the Deathly Hallows to further the plot, and expended much time examining Harry’s attempts to comprehend such universal themes as how to deal with death and the search for truth.

Remarkably enough, altho not unexpected, Harry, Ron, and Hermione manage to locate the missing locket and determine where the other Horcruxes were concealed by Voldemort, including the cup of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw’s lost diadem. Even Neville plays an primary role in the fall of Voldemort by taking care of the snake Nagini, and Harry ultimately learns that, because of Voldemort’s attack on him as a baby, he is the final Horcrux. Learning that he must sacrifice himself to Voldemort in order to end the war is one of the more dark yet touching sequences in the book, as Harry discovers that Voldemort may not be discomfited unless the percentage of his soul trapped in Harry is destroyed. Harry bravely sacrifices himself and manages to survive Voldemort’s curse, causing Voldemort to demolish the Horcrux on his own.

The theme of the Deathly Hallows themselves also play a huge role in the story, as Harry learns what they are and that he already possesses two of the three Hallows. He likewise learns that Professor Dumbledore made it his quest to discover all three of them, even though his motivations were not rather as pure as Harry’s. Through gradual revelations of the life of Dumbledore, Harry learns that the exalted professor had just as a good deal of flaws as any other humane being, along with an irritating tendency to leave Harry in the dark with regards to almost everything. But Harry in the end learns a heap of priceless truths when it comes to Dumbledore, even altho they may have been unpleasing truths for him. Instead of following in Dumbledore’s footsteps and carrying out or participate in the Hallows to gain enormous power to defeat Voldemort, Harry makes the more wise decision to do his best to reduce Voldemort’s power.

One of the most intriguing questions of the series has been the issue of Severus Snape and whether he was “good” or “bad.” It turns out that the answer to the question is a not-so-simple “a little bit of both.” Harry discovers, through Snape’s memories, that Snape always loved Lily Potter and had turned away from Voldemort the minute that he threatened Harry’s mother. Although Snape acted out of his selfish attachment to Lily, and emphasized Harry’s resemblance to James Potter who had tortured him as a youth, Snape had worked with Dumbledore to protect Harry until the very end. His last act before dying from the snake Nagini’s bite, is to give Harry the last pieces of the puzzle to understanding that Snape and Dumbledore’s attempts to protect him resulted in Harry ending up as master of the Deathly Hallows, as well as the destroyer of Voldemort’s Horcruxes. Without Snape, selfish and mean as he was, Voldemort may have proved even more dangerous, or Harry may not have learned a great deal of indispensable truths regarding Snape, Harry’s mother Lily, and even Aunt Petunia.

The two major themes of death and truth run through almost each page of the book. While sentiment lost and highly inadequate to the task of locating and demolishing Horcruxes, Harry tardily learns regarding Dumbledore’s past actions that reflect none too well on the professor. Dumbledore comes out looking as even though he made a great deal of grave errors in his past, even touching upon the Dark Arts and the subjugation of Muggles, as well as having manipulated Harry for much of his life in order to protect him and lead him to his eventual defeat of Voldemort. Harry realizes that Dumbledore had led him to the rectify path, but that it would be up to Harry and his friends to walk the path and get over the difficulties faced along the way.

Death also plays a big role in the book, with assorted of the supporting characters entering the clearing at the end of the path by the end of the story. Hedwig, Mad-Eye Moody, Lupin, Tonks, Dobby the house elf, and Fred Weasley are some of the casualties along the way, along with a number of Death Eaters and their supporters. The book does not skirt around the issue of mentioning the war in the wizarding world, and in war it is expected there will be casualties, a lot of of them bitter and seemingly arbitrary. Harry learns how to deal with the death of close friends and the importance of continuing his quest even even though he knows more death may come before the end, but that Voldemort will have to be discomfited for the war to stop.

The book employed the challenges facing Harry and his friends, and the introduction of new challenges as ways to keep the story moving forward and to illumine respective distinct elements of former books. Much more of the history of Dumbledore, Snape, and the wizarding world at huge was revealed in this book than in any other in the series. Rowling showed that Voldemort’s quest for power took him from the forests of Albania to distant caves to medieval towers and even to the desecration of a grave, all in an undertake to gain one more tool to escape death and kill Harry Potter. Harry, on the other hand, followed a quest to learn the truth with regards to his family, his strained kinship with Snape, and the vague life and teachings of Albus Dumbledore.

Not surprisingly, Harry discomfited Voldemort in the end by attempting to reduce Voldemort’s power and understand the events that had so affected his life. Voldemort, as an aspiring immortal villain, trapped in an infinite present of benefitting more power, was discomfited by the simple disarming spell of a boy who understood the road he had traveled, leading from his childhood, altho happiness, tragedy, and hope, on into a more glorious future for the wizarding world and the Muggle world.
