A Final Thought
Aug 3 2007, 12:36 PM EDT "Deathly Hallows" was a book that brought anticipation to readers across the world on July 21, a day that will be forever remembered. I stood in line at the nearest Borders, anxiously awaiting a copy of the famed book to be placed into my hands. At 1:45 the wait concluded as I stepped up to the checkout counter, covered in books. Two minutes later, I began to read, taking in every finite detail: the novel was amazing from page one. I read quickly, hoping to finish before any spoilers could reach me, but with great care and attention: I had to savor the last book of a splendid series. As I sauntered through the chapters, various emotions played in my mind: with an extraordinary amount of deaths I had little time to grieve before a new plot twist would arise. Mad-Eye, Dobby, Fred, Tonks, and Lupin; although you are merely fictional characters, you will be missed. I have to say, the moment I was most pleased with was when Dudley emerged as a person with feeilngs toward his cousin; J.K. Rowling could not have done better. I was suspecting the marriages of Tonks & Lupin, Ginny & Harry, and Hermione & Ron; but they still came sweetly. Although I have always been a fan of the intelligent Hermione, I beileve my new favorite character was the clever Severus Snape, whose role in Dumbledore's plan was explained beautifully. Dumbledore remained a legend who always strove for The Greater Good, though not in the malicious way Harry thought. As the book ended and the epilogue began, I felt a good sense of closure that I was not expecting. Harry and his mates will always remain in my heart as magnificent characters in a series of books that captivated me to the last words; as Albus Severus boarded the scarlet Hogwarts Express: "The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well." 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |
