The Deathly Hallows

The final installment of the epic series known as the Harry Potter series culminates in a fantastic adventure, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This is an excellent book that takes the reader through the final chapter in Harry's struggle against the evil dark wizard, Lord Voldemort. This novel deals with heavy themes like coming to terms with forgiving the dead. This theme of course is manifested with Harry's distrust of previous headmaster Albus Dumbledore who was killed in the previous book. Harry struggles through the entire novel wondering whether or not Dumbledore loved him. We never get a definitive answer as readers. This ambiguity leaves the reader to infer his own personal preferences upon this topic. Generally the reader will infer that Dumbledore did indeed love Harry. This novel also serves as a coming of age novel for many of the characters. Snape has often been perceived as a malicious character, yet through this novel we see his true character which isn’t malicious at all. Rather it’s loving, just in a strange sort of way that as readers we don’t fully understand until we see things from Snape’s point of view.
