The Deathly Hallows

Now we are just about to finish our second Smart Girl series review, so let's get this show on the road!

First, the synopsis. In this one, Harry spends roughly the first half of the book wandering around destroying horcruxes (if you haven't read the Half-Blood Prince, or seen the movie, you will probably not understand that sentence at all, but horcruxes are important) and gathering information on the Deathly Hallows (also important.) In the later parts, however, we start seeing some major action. This means that basically, in the first half, they're not at Hogwarts, and in the second part they get closer and closer until they're there.

Next, my opinion. I think this is a decent book. I don't like it mostly because, first, they don't even go to Hogwarts, so they aren't complaining about homework or their classes, so they seem different, plus, I like Hogwarts. Also, it seems a little slow, because they spend the first half basically wandering around, and they're acting almost like outlaws. Otherwise, this is a good book, except when certain people die, (not saying who, though!) My personal favorite part is the Epilogue.

That's all, folks! Ciao! See you next time!

  1. That's funny about the Epilogue. I actually really liked this book. It is almost like two completely different books and so it seems obvious why they would make it into two movies.

  2. Smart Girl-

    I would really like some advice on a good fun read. I'm specifically looking for a fun audio book to listen to while driving up to visit family we have in Virginia.
