I was right!!

I love being right, especially when it comes to predicting books!! For all of you who have not read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and don't want the whole story utterly ruined for you, please do not continue.


I had predicted that Harry would end up being the last horcruxe and that he would know that he had to sacrifice himself to save everyone else and would be the ultimate hero by giving of himself. I had also decided that Snape was good all along and that Dumbledore had previously told Snape to kill him. I also had a feeling that he loved Lilly and that is one of the reasons he hated James so much. Another thought that kept running through my mind was that everyone that has ever helped / saved Harry would have to die so that he could ultimately destroy Valdemort by himself.



So after reading the beloved book 7 in the Harry Potter Series I was very pleased and could not have been more happy. In fact after Harry "died" (kind of) I went to bed. I stopped reading and went to sleep perfectly happy. Everything happened according to plan. Alan was beside himself, and could not believe that I would stop there. I honestly just thought the rest of the book was about everyone else and what happened to them. So I was pleasantly surprised when he was the possessor of all of the deathly hallows which made him so that he couldn't die.



Favorite parts:

• Harry's birthday present from Ginny!!! Young love!
• When Ron came back, and the fact that he never went home! Touching.
• Dobby's amazing rescue. I cried, I admit it!
• The scene when Ron and Hermione finally kiss. Hilarious!!
• The last moments with Snape. Including his memories. Touching.
• Kreacher's change of heart. As well as his leadership role with the house elves during the last battle.
• Hagrid carrying Harry back to the castle and remembering everything that has transpired between these two.
• Having all of the horcruxes destroyed by different people.... I especially loved Neville's role in killing the snake or final horcruxe. Way to go Neville!
• Finding out what everyone Patronus's were. I love how they match the people.

Unexpected Surprises:

• Luna's father, Xenophilius, turning on them.
• McGonagall didn't play a bigger role in this book, and you don't know what has been going on at Hogwarts.
• Dumbledore's brother, Aberforth, that had the other mirror to watch Harry.
• That Harry ends up saving Malfoy twice.
• That Tonks and Lupin both die.
• Malfoy's mother, Narcissa, checking to see if Harry was dead. (this was probably the biggest surprise to me, I was touched by her response)

I loved the way J.K. Rowling tied everything together and how she made everything play out. What a wonderful ending to a fabulous series.
