Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows post #6

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
J.K Rowling
Fantasy, Fiction, Thriller
759/759
In the last couple chapters of the last installment in the Harry Potter series it was the Hogwarts Battle. It was the life and death situation where the good and evil fought against each other. This was the time to see who would live. Is it Harry, the chosen one or the Voldemort, the one who should not be named? At this part it was when Harries school friends and teachers will be battling against Voldemort and his army from the dark side. At one point, Voldemort warned Harry that if he doesn't come to the dark forest on his own all of his friends would die because of him. At the forest, Voldemort swung his wand at Harry and he collapsed on the floor. One of the witches from the dark side, in fact Draco’s mother approached Harry. She knew that Harry wasn't dead, but all she wanted to know was if her son, Draco was still alive. She asked Harry quietly if her son was safe and alive, as Harry slowly nodded his head, Draco’s Mother wanted to help Harry by telling Voldemort that he was actually dead. Voldemort finally thought he had all the power in the world. Voldemort brings Harry back to Hogwarts with the news that “Harry Potter is dead”. All of Harry’s friends were there and all of them speechless and in tears apart from Ginny who couldn't keep it in and started yelling “No!” She didn't want to believe that he was dead. As soon as Harry saw that he had the chance to “awake” by running away and continuing the battle with Voldemort he did so.  Everybody in Hogwarts couldn't believe what they just saw and Voldemort furious.  The battle continued just as it stopped. Harry and Voldemort were found in front of the Hogwarts entrance battling each other. Voldemort fired his killing curse, but Harry instantaneously sent back a disarming curse where the two curses meet in the middle.  Voldemort’s wand rebounded with the curs which killed him and the wand flew into Harry’s hand. All of Hogwarts vents in Victory. Harry lived a regular life from then on and he will die a natural death. Nineteen years after defeating Voldemort, Harry and Ginny had a family with three children and Ron and Hermione as well. At this last chapter of the book, Harry, Ron and Hermione are reunited at the Hogwarts express where they were sending their children off to Hogwarts. The book ends with a discussion between Harry and his second child Albus Severus Potter who was getting ready to head to Hogwarts for the first time.
In my opinion the last bit of the book was the best part of the book. There were so many things happening at the same time and they were all so interesting and in depth that I did not want to leave the book without completely finishing it. To me it’s upsetting that this is the last Harry Potter book. I have enjoyed reading this book so much. Everything was so in depth and while reading I could picture everything that was happening in Hogwarts during the battle and with the golden trio, Harry, Hermione & Ron.

Albus, Rose, Hugo and Lily laughed. The train began to move, and Harry walked alongside it, watching his sons thin face, already ablaze with excitement. Harry kept smiling and waving, even though it was like a little bereavement, watching his son glide away from him…
The last trace of steam evaporated into the autumn air. The train around a corner. Harry’s hand was still raised in farewell.
 “He will be alright,” Murmured Ginny.  
As Harry looked at her, he lowered his hand absentmindedly and touched the lightning scar on his forehead.
“I know he will.”
The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well.


I really liked reading these last couple of sentences in the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. They were so heartwarming and touching that I could just picture it in my head and the moment making me want to cry.
