Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows - This is the first Harry Potter review since I have started this blog. And because I am so fond of the books and films there will probably be more ramblings regarding the series as a whole then the specific quality of the film. Needless to say, since I was introduced to the Harry Potter craze at the first film, I have yet to forgive my parents for not sending me Hogwart's. Ok, I know Hogwart's is not a real place, but the idea of this extraordinary world took me and millions under its spell. The fantasy of Harry, Ron and Hermione takes a dark turn in this first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. As this book was already strong, I anticipated the film would offer the same connection I found through reading. I felt the division of this book really benefits the story telling of this in-depth conclusion to a series so many are deeply invested in.

I have always found myself to be a bit of kindred spirit with Harry. If you are at all invested in the characters, you are aware that Harry lost his parents at a young age. The real emotions that Harry goes through dealing with that loss are ones I can relate to. I lost a parent in my teens, granted there was no magic involved but it is a tragic process none the less. This installment's plot forces Harry to make peace but also find reason in the deaths of his parents. Again Harry's journey comes down to the differences between good and evil, but a muggle, such as myself, has the same struggles with life and death. Trying to find a greater meaning through the death of a parent is a hopeless search, but one that forces you to find your own strength and discover who you can truly lean on. Not to mention I have my own Hermione, a platonic friend who thinks logically when you cannot and offers support in the best way for you, even when all seems lost. Plus they can see the best in you when you cannot and know just how to pick you back up.
