The Deathly Hallows

I am perhaps one of the maddest people to exist on earth. What makes me madder is that I am a die hard Harry Potter fan. I have lived in that world more than our material world. After two years of loooong waiting, I finally had, in real, the seventh book in my hand.

I sat down to read it. My first expressions were a lot like “whoa” and “no way!”. But as the pages went by, a sense of boredom started creeping into me. My earlier expressions were followed by “what nonsense” and “how boring”. The more I read it, the more I couldn’t believe my eyes!! and then there was the end of another mournful chapter. I slammed the book down thinking it’d be better if I just slept. Over the days, I was in no hurry to read the book and now that I have finished reading it, its review time!!

I must say, JK Rowling must have decided to use cruder language to honor the last book. Who comes, who goes, who dies!! They have been killed just for mere entertainment. And Harry, I must say has just turned to a lazy brat. For months they do nothing and one fine day, everything happens. And this is a periodic incident. The idea JK Rowling christened the Deathly Hallows is something at least I could not digest.

I must agree that the plot was amazing. But is this what people who truly understood the Harry Potter series had asked for? Definitely not for me. It seemed to me More like the average superhero movie where the hero kills the evil guy, wins the girl and has many kids. What had set Harry apart from others just because of these facts was now just like any other.

All in all, a good book but definitely nowhere a Grand end to the Potter series. Miss Rowling probably never realized that if she had wanted, people would have had to accept Harry Potter as a dead wizard.

If I were to say something to JK Rowling, it would have to be something like “You had created a wonder.. And you could have made it into the best wonder if not for how you ruined it for all of us.”

So cheers people… Enjoy reading…

If you do come across other nicer books, kindly let me know..!!
