Harry Potter 7… here finally… Review

So, I finally recieved my copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on the 25th and the courier guy got a nice thrashing from my dad about the fact that every minute of delay costs the book its value… how true..Lets get on to the book then, shall we…

 To look at its not as huge as the 5th and 6th ones were (wasnt quite fond of them,in any case). Its 607 pages to be precise.

The story kicks of on a good note with Harry getting rid of the Durslely’s for good and his rescue to the Burrow…and the mayhem begins. The book, to me, is quite pacy… with the events unfolding at a speed which startled me, and I believe most Potter fans must have been caught off their guard, particularly after the way the 5th and the 6th book crawled.

Rowling bumps off a load of charecters.. 9, I guess. I’m not revelaing much, go read the book if you have to know.. it’ll rob you of the suspense. You deserve it…

She explores Harry’s and Voldemort’s strengths and weaknesses with amazing alacrity…. answers many unanswered questions about the Invisibility cloak, why Dumbledore left clues instead of answers, Snape, James and Lily and a lot of other stuff.

She also does the smart thing with an Ekta Kapoor style “Bees saal Baad”. Ok, its 19yrs later. But still, that prevents any wise crack on scripting Harry’s future. She’s got brains, that Rowling.

Thats all for my so called effort to summarize the book…I give it a 9/10. And you?
