Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows...Again

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My review from nearly two years ago still seems like my exact sentiments, though I'll add that now I am debating when I can introduce my soon-to-be son to Harry and the gang. When is too soon? It's probably never to early. It's also never too late if you haven't read Harry Potter yet. Happy reading-

I want to write something that does justice to how much I love the conclusion of this series and to the series overall, but it all comes out in "fangirl" and I just don't want to do that. So, today the short version is that I love the detail in this book. I love that Rowling pays attention to little characters and nuanced detail as much as she does the title characters. I love that there are stories within stories and that I notice new things every time I read. Few reading experiences leave me feeling as satisfied as the Harry Potters. Rereading the series over the past six months is no exception. There is always a perfect blend of nostalgia and magic - I can't get enough of it.

Happy reading to all the muggles who are also still waiting for their letter to Hogwarts--

I am one of the millions who loves Harry Potter. As odd as it sounds, I think of Harry, Hermione, or one of the many aspects of the world J.K. Rowling created enters my consciousness every day. Naturally, in preparation for the final movie, I had to reread this book. I loved just as much as I did the first few times. As always, it’s sad to see the series wind down, and yet amazing to look back at what Rowling and her magnificent characters have done.
If you are one of the few hold outs who has refused to read one of the books, get over yourself and pick them up. They are too fantastic not to.

Ps. On a theatrical note, I cannot wait for the Bellatrix – Mrs. Weasley fight scene. “Not my daughter you b****!” LOVE it. Thursday night kids—it’s almost here!!

Books on tape are magical - I love being carried away into another world while I'm driving in traffic (of course, still focused on the road). I "reread" the seventh Harry Potter and thoroughly enjoyed being more keenly aware of what was coming - being able to watch Rowling's craft in action as she built her story detail by detail. I confess my interest in the Harry Potter series clouds my judgment (I love them more than I probably should), but I do not get tired of reading them.... The magic, the fight between good and evil, the romance, the fact they are British - love it! I'm looking forward to Rowling's new book - Beedle the Bard - coming out in December.

(Had to leave all ten years worth of reviews in one entry. Ten years of loving this book and multiple readings seems worth documenting. There are four reviews here, though I feel like I've read it one or two other times. Can't seem to help myself.)
