HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS
We are arrived at the seventh episode of the Harry Potter’s saga, and someone just thinks that it couldn’t be really the last chapter. In fact, we can’t tell you the truth, because we don’t know it. However, this time the young spectacled magician is the starring of a story more darker than the previous, far from Hogwarts for the most part of the narration.
Harry finally is now seventeen, and now he’s indeed more vulnerable. So, the hunt of him from his lethal enemy, lord Voldemort, alias also Tom Riddle, with his Deatheaters Army, is at its summit. As a matter of fact, according the prophecy, only one of them will survive and the other must die. On the other hand, Harry with his friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, are looking for the Horcruxes, objects that contain parts of the split soul of You-Know-Who. At this confrontation we add the real story of Albus Dumbledore, a great wizard and a good man but with huge shadows on his past, and of his murder, Severus Snape. But who is really this dubious teacher who betrayed the Order of Phoenix, apparently, now the handyman, and not only this, of Voldemort?
If you haven’t read the remaining six books is just difficult understand the thread of the plot, and its digressions. In spite of this, the style is clear and bright and the author manages easily all the characters. If, in this years, this saga, at bookshop and also at the cinema is become important like “The Lord Of Rings” and “Star Wars” maybe there is surely a reason.
At the end, a short charming scene in the future of the Potter’s family, twenty years later, maybe mainly for the fans.
