As I’m slowly reaching the end of the book, the plot seems to be getting more exciting and the tension keeps building. At this part, Harry, Ron and Hermione's friends back in Hogwarts have been hearing rumors that Harry and the golden trio have broken into Gringotts bank. In the previous chapters, Hermione and Ron disguised as a dark witch, Bellatrix and dark wizard so that they could get into her money volt.  One of the Horcruxes was placed in Bellatrix’s volt, so they planned on getting it by pretending to be Bellatrix. Luckily, they got the Horcrux and escaped, but they were caught by the goblins working there. One of their close friends from school, Neville wanted to find them and bring them back to Hogwarts. All the people who were in Dumbledore’s army in year five of Harry Potter, have been hiding in the room of requirements in Hogwarts. As Neville helps them come into the room where no one from the castle could see them, everyone was overjoyed to see Harry and his friends. They all wanted to help them on their mission. Most of them were disappointed that Harry, Hermione and Ron have been doing this on their own without anyone else’s help. Harry decided that he should let the army help him with finding the Horcruxes, but he didn't want to explain much what the Horcruxes were.  All he told the assembled students was that they were looking for a distinctive object, not knowing what it is but it might be associated with one of the Hogwarts houses, Ravenclaw.  Luna Lovegood, one of Harry's good friends knew about a legend of a lost Tiara which belonged to Rowena Ravenclaw, the founder of the house. Luna helped Harry get into the common room, under the invisibility cloak were no one could see them.

Since I’m getting to the end of the book, I couldn't be more excited. In the previous chapters it has always been Harry, Hermione and Ron on their mission, but now there are all of their school friends which want to help them. At this part the evil and good forces are beginning to assemble. The entire battle is about to begin in Hogwarts. It’s so thrilling and I can’t wait to read on and to find out what happens in the end of the book.
            Harry whirled around, slipped off the plinth, and landed on the floor. The sloping-shouldered figure of Alecto Carrow was standing before him, and even as Harry raised his wand, she pressed a stubby forefinger o the skull and snake branded on her forearm.

         
   I chose this passage not only because it was the last passage of my reading so far, but because it’s pretty mysterious. In the book before there was no person mentioned called Alecto Carrow and now all of a sudden this woman appears in front of Harry with her fingure on the skull and a snake on her arm. As I move on to the following chapter I hope to find out more about this women and what will happen to Harry and if he will destroy the Ravenclaw tiara.
