Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows – J.K. Rowling

11 months ago, I started on this journey into the world of Harry Potter rather reluctantly.   Now, having finished the seventh and final book in the series, I’m going to say it was a worthwhile ordeal.  In this last entry, Harry, Ron, and Hermoine have left Hogwarts and are tracking down the remaining Horcruxes in an effort to defeat Voldemort once and for all.

Rowling definitely ups the action this time out, and characters we’ve come to know and love do not survive the final battle.  The stakes are real, as they should be after 7 trips to the same universe.  All in all, it was well worth the effort to cram all 7 books in to one year.
