Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows (Spoiler)

I finished reading the last of the Harry Potter series! “Amazing” is the word that comes to mind। I rejoiced when the whole of Hogwarts decides to stood up to put up a fight. It was good symbolism to show that each of Harry’s friends – including Neville – helped him destroy a Horcrux. Dobby’s death was sad. I also was hoping that the Weasley family wouldn’t suffer any casualties. And I still believe that Fred shouldn’t have died. :-(

What’s more, it turned out that Dumbledore’s faith in Snape wasn’t unjustified। When Harry thought that Dumbledore was pleading Snape not to kill him, Dumbledore was in fact reminding Snape of his promise to kill him so that Draco would be spared. Wonderful!

It felt weird to read about Harry’s and Ron’s family in the end though। Somehow, it seemed as if they grew up from 11-year olds in a very short span of time – though clearly 19 years have passed since.

However, I am not sure whether Voldemort is dead once and for all। The scene at King’s Cross station isn’t very clear on this point. And the last sentence that Harry’s scar hasn’t hurt since the past 19 years reminded me of those movies about mutated creatures in which one egg or one creature is shown to have survived in the end – as a provision for a sequel.

So have we really heard the last of Harry, Hermione, Ginny and Ron? :-)
