Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling

I had to re-read book 6 before I could start book 7. If you are a Harry Potter fan, I am sure that you have already read this book. I find the character of Albus Dumbledore to be a fascinating and wise character and I always enjoy reading the dialogue that Rowling has created for him.

I know that this book creates controversy for the "magic"theme, yet, don't we live in a world of unseen powers of spiritual proportions? I won't say that this has any relationship to that kind of power, but there is a definite fight between good and evil that relates to that spiritual fight that we battle every day. Harry Potter at the end must lay down his life for his friends, in order to save them. Harry's love for other's motivates his actions. Dumbledore says many time throughout this series that the difference between Harry and Voldemort is that Harry knows how to love. Love makes all the difference.

Rowling ties up all the questions from the other books. I think that the entire book series has been well thought out. The characters are lovable and well developed. You are always cheering for the good guys. I truly could not put this down.

Thanks for reading.
