adorará Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se gostará deste livro. Great ending to Harry Potter! I'm a huge HP fan & I wasn't disappointed!! (  ) Ames3473 | Nov 28, 2009 |  The epilogue was a little to saccharine -- Rowling should have left it off entirely. Otherwise, a perfect ending to the Potter saga! (  )1  catalogthis | Nov 24, 2009 | Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the stunning conclusion to the Harry Potter saga. This book follows Harry on his magical journey to try and save the wizarding world from Lord Voldermort by destroying his horcruxes which preserve his soul. In the process, he discovers that there are three wizarding artifacts, the elder wand, the invisibilty cloak, and the resurrecting stone and that whoever has all three will be invincible. After destroying Voldermorts seven horcruxes, Harry goes to his former school, Hogwarts, where he finds Voldermort attacking the castle. Harry knows what he must do and allows himself to be seemingly killed so as to lull Voldermort into a false sense of security. However, because he posseses all three wizarding artifacts, he is able to revive himself, and ends up in a final duel with Voldermort, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Unfortunately, the ending is rather anti-climatic as Harry only casts one spell before Voldermort is killed and the wizarding community saved. Also, his being revived after being killed is pushing it a little too much, even if it is a story about magic where anything is possible. However, I would consider this book the best of the Harry Potter series, and the whole series is worth reading for anyone. 1 danBerk | Nov 12, 2009 | Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the seventh and final installment in J. K. Rowling's astonishing, world-wide famous, fantasy series Harry Potter. The entire world has waited for years just for this very book, including myself, and I must say...I was kinda disappointed with the ending... Like no other Harry Potter book, the Deathly Hallows bursts into action and the action doesn't stop there, it goes on and on until the end. I'm not going to bother giving a plot summary or synopsis as virtually everybody knows the story by now but I'll just mention some of the things that I loved and hated in the story. I loved the part where Harry and his rotten cousin Dudley made a truce. I hated how Hedwig died. I loved the explosive escape from Privet Drive. I really hated the final stand between Harry and Voldemort, there was wayyy too much confrontation, too much delay to the death of Voldemort...and the fact that Harry yet AGAIN used faggy Expelliarmus to defend himself against Voldemort was pathetic. "...Tom Riddle was dead, killed by his own curse..." that was kinda annoying too, why couldn't Harry and Voldemort have a massive, kick-ass battle instead, with loads of Fiendfyre and really advanced spells? And it would have been good if Harry explained to Voldemort how his plan was flawed between each spell that was cast. J. K. Rowling's biggest mistake: Bellatrix being killed by Molly Weasley? o.O A big no, no. Molly Weasley has never been shown in a battle in the entire Harry Potter series, and I never thought she would have the potential to cast an Avada Kedavra curse. Here's my idea how Bellatrix should have died: Harry, Ron and Hermione are sprinting through the castle during the Battle of Hogwarts, Bellatrix emerges from around the corner and Harry tells Ron and Hermione to go on, Harry is still vengeful, after she taunts she killed Sirius he shows her he can cast the Cruciatus curse and he does mean it, finally he has here begging for mercy on the floor, then a flash of green light and he zaps the bitch one...still out of character for Harry, but more of a Harry thing to do than a Molly thing to do. Overall I loved Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, it was an almost perfect ending to the series...but a tempting one, J. K left herself a potential three books to write which she could formulate from the epilogue... I'm too hungry to do a review right now. I'll edit it when I'm full. (  )1 JordanLangston | Nov 10, 2009 | Not as funny and exciting as the other books in the Harry Potter series. I reread most of the other Harry Potter books but not this one. As teenagers, Ron and Hermione aren't very likable. (  )1 mauveberry | Nov 1, 2009 |  sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

| Descrição do livro |
|
The heart of Book 7 is a hero's mission--not just in Harry's quest for the Horcruxes, but in his journey from boy to man--and Harry faces more danger than that found in all six books combined, from the direct threat of the Death Eaters and you-know-who, to the subtle perils of losing faith in himself. Attentive readers would do well to remember Dumbledore's warning about making the choice between "what is right and what is easy," and know that Rowling applies the same difficult principle to the conclusion of her series. While fans will find the answers to hotly speculated questions about Dumbledore, Snape, and you-know-who, it is a testament to Rowling's skill as a storyteller that even the most astute and careful reader will be taken by surprise.
A spectacular finish to a phenomenal series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is a bittersweet read for fans. The journey is hard, filled with events both tragic and triumphant, the battlefield littered with the bodies of the dearest and despised, but the final chapter is as brilliant and blinding as a phoenix's flame, and fans and skeptics alike will emerge from the confines of the story with full but heavy hearts, giddy and grateful for the experience. --Daphne Durham

Why We Love Harry
Favorite Moments from the Series
There are plenty of reasons to love Rowling's wildly popular series--no doubt you have several dozen of your own. Our list features favorite moments, characters, and artifacts from the first five books. Keep in mind that this list is by no means exhaustive (what we love about Harry could fill ten books!) and does not include any of the spectacular revelatory moments that would spoil the books for those (few) who have not read them. Enjoy.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
* Harry's first trip to the zoo with the Dursleys, when a boa constrictor winks at him.
* When the Dursleys' house is suddenly besieged by letters for Harry from Hogwarts. Readers learn how much the Dursleys have been keeping from Harry. Rowling does a wonderful job in displaying the lengths to which Uncle Vernon will go to deny that magic exists.
* Harry's first visit to Diagon Alley with Hagrid. Full of curiosities and rich with magic and marvel, Harry's first trip includes a trip to Gringotts and Ollivanders, where Harry gets his wand (holly and phoenix feather) and discovers yet another connection to He-Who-Must-No-Be-Named. This moment is the reader's first full introduction to Rowling's world of witchcraft and wizards.
* Harry's experience with the Sorting Hat.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
* The de-gnoming of the Weasleys' garden. Harry discovers that even wizards have chores--gnomes must be grabbed (ignoring angry protests "Gerroff me! Gerroff me!"), swung about (to make them too dizzy to come back), and tossed out of the garden--this delightful scene highlights Rowling's clever and witty genius.
* Harry's first experience with a Howler, sent to Ron by his mother.
* The Dueling Club battle between Harry and Malfoy. Gilderoy Lockhart starts the Dueling Club to help students practice spells on each other, but he is not prepared for the intensity of the animosity between Harry and Draco. Since they are still young, their minibattle is innocent enough, including tickling and dancing charms.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
* Ron's attempt to use a telephone to call Harry at the Dursleys'.
* Harry's first encounter with a Dementor on the train (and just about any other encounter with Dementors). Harry's brush with the Dementors is terrifying and prepares Potter fans for a darker, scarier book.
* Harry, Ron, and Hermione's behavior in Professor Trelawney's Divination class. Some of the best moments in Rowling's books occur when she reminds us that the wizards-in-training at Hogwarts are, after all, just children. Clearly, even at a school of witchcraft and wizardry, classes can be boring and seem pointless to children.
* The Boggart lesson in Professor Lupin's classroom.
* Harry, Ron, and Hermione's knock-down confrontation with Snape.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
* Hermione's disgust at the reception for the veela (Bulgarian National Team Mascots) at the Quidditch World Cup. Rowling's fourth book addresses issues about growing up--the dynamic between the boys and girls at Hogwarts starts to change. Nowhere is this more plain than the hilarious scene in which magical cheerleaders nearly convince Harry and Ron to jump from the stands to impress them.
* Viktor Krum's crush on Hermione--and Ron's objection to it.
* Malfoy's "Potter Stinks" badge.
* Hermione's creation of S.P.E.W., the intolerant bigotry of the Death Eaters, and the danger of the Triwizard Tournament. Add in the changing dynamics between girls and boys at Hogwarts, and suddenly Rowling's fourth book has a weight and seriousness not as present in early books in the series. Candy and tickle spells are left behind as the students tackle darker, more serious issues and take on larger responsibilities, including the knowledge of illegal curses.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
* Harry's outburst to his friends at No. 12 Grimmauld Place. A combination of frustration over being kept in the dark and fear that he will be expelled fuels much of Harry's anger, and it all comes out at once, directly aimed at Ron and Hermione. Rowling perfectly portrays Harry's frustration at being too old to shirk responsibility, but too young to be accepted as part of the fight that he knows is coming.
* Harry's detention with Professor Umbridge. Rowling shows her darker side, leading readers to believe that Hogwarts is no longer a safe haven for young wizards. Dolores represents a bureaucratic tyrant capable of real evil, and Harry is forced to endure their private battle of wills alone.
* Harry and Cho's painfully awkward interactions. Rowling clearly remembers what it was like to be a teenager.
* Harry's Occlumency lessons with Snape.
* Dumbledore's confession to Harry.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
* The introduction of the Horcrux.
* Molly Weasley asking Arthur Weasley about his "dearest ambition." Rowling has always been great at revealing little intriguing bits about her characters at a time, and Arthur’s answer "to find out how airplanes stay up" reminds us about his obsession with Muggles.
* Harry's private lessons with Dumbledore, and more time spent with the fascinating and dangerous pensieve, arguably one of Rowling’s most ingenious inventions.
* Fred and George Weasley’s Joke Shop, and the slogan: "Why Are You Worrying About You-Know-Who? You Should Be Worrying About U-NO-POO--the Constipation Sensation That's Gripping the Nation!"
* Luna's Quidditch commentary. Rowling created scores of Luna Lovegood fans with hilarious and bizarre commentary from the most unlikely Quidditch commentator.
* The effects of Felix Felicis.

A Few Words from Mary GrandPré 
"When I illustrate a cover or a book, I draw upon what the author tells me; that's how I see my responsibility as an illustrator. J.K. Rowling is very descriptive in her writing--she gives an illustrator a lot to work with. Each story is packed full of rich visual descriptions of the atmosphere, the mood, the setting, and all the different creatures and people. She makes it easy for me. The images just develop as I sketch and retrace until it feels right and matches her vision." Check out more Harry Potter art from illustrator Mary GrandPré.
