-Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows-
The best book in the HP series NO TWO OPINIONS on that!!!
👏Whatta a ravishing Finale!!!👏
😳ROWLING----I BOW THE GENIUS IN YOU!😳 HATS OFF!
This is one of the BEST of the books I have read in my lifetime and please dont think I am bragging like yet another crazy HP fan as many say---"there she starts again!"😆
Yess Of course I am proud to ay I am a huge fan of HP series till now I ;loved he book completely. Now I wonder if that is anything compared to my reaction after I finished reading the last book of this unforgettable series which has completely shattered the age barriers across the globe!
We hae wondered why do even adults go crazy behind this book which is supposedlt written off my some craziats as "CHild fiction-unbllievably iditotic"...Now dont u dare call Rowlin an idiot!!! Madame...How do u do this!!! U truly have the elder wand with which we work true MAGIC!
***SPOILERS***(Dont read the rest if you havent read the book yet)
Thats it---Man Didnt I kee repeAting all the time---"Snape is not bad...snape is working for Dumbledore!"...N god right I was!!! Ma whatta character he is---Truly The most brave of all wizards ever to have graced by Rowling's quill! The man who truly knew to LOVE. He never wanted to achieve his Love..he wannted to do justice to his love. N he lost his life in the attempt to do so. Whatta great man...definitely Dumbledore knew Snape would keep his word. N I completelyfell in love with Snape afre the Chapter- The Prince's Tale..Truly the Half Blood Prince-A man who persoifies the word BRAVERY!👏 He truly lovd Lilly Potter and I loved hER for such dedication and sincerity. N he was always truthful and sinecer to Dumbledore---The only man who understood him and his feeling-he was the only man who TRUSTED snape---N that made all the difference for Snape! Just think he was protecting the son of the man whom he hated and the woman whom he loved like anything!
Dumbledore..Mna If I loved this man before..If I thought he was a great wiz---Now he is definitely the greatest wizard, The greatest of men who ever lived! hE proved---No man is born great, he is made great..Dumbledore was made great..he became great with the tragdies which he suffered...Just think abt it---A man who is unsure whether he himself killed his own sister?! A man, who dreamtof the greater good, had the skill to achieve it but was forced to stop his mission bcoz of fear of his own brilliance?! N the same he is--The man who will anyday confess that he committed mistakes for which he hates himself! (God How can u ever hate him!!???😳)...N God I nearly broke down when he told Harry---How he had tried to bring back his family using the resurrection stone---His sister, His mother, His father---whom he loved but never was able to express it!?😭
But the epilogue was really not that great I mean i didnt like it much..😆 Though I loved it when Harry said "Albus Severus" and How Snape was the bravest man he had ever met!👏
But I wish JK hadnt dragged the war at Howarts to more than 150 pgs..true it was damn exciting and fast paced..still it did drag a bit...😳 But no complains!!!😳 But she could have explained Lupin's death u know..I was shocked..I didnt feel anything when they said lying beside Fred-Tonks and Lupin..I mean Lupin I love him we all do he is such an important character😳

I must say the fact that Dumbledore duelled with Grindelwald in 1945 being mentioned on the Chocolate Frog card in Book 1 made, for me, the pair's past friendship and relation to Dumbledore's family tragedy the BEST revelation of this book. I never imagined so much went on in Dumbledore's life before this. I also liked the part where Harry, having believed Dumbledore thought he was dispensable (even Snape believed Dumbledore thought this) finally discovers that Dumbledore knew what the significance of Harry's blood in Voldemort's veins was. Dumbledore was thoroughly good, even if he was a bit misled in the beginning! 😃
he wasnt mislead actually...his intentions were always true and pure. When he aid "The Greater Good" he meant it literally from his heart. He wanted the Hallows only for the good on the Wizarding world, Not to enpower himself like Lord Voldemort. His and Grindewald's interntions were different. N I am sure u all agree that HE IS NO DARK WIZARD and had NO SUCH INTENTIONS.
He wanted to establish the wizards over the muggles BUT FOR THE GOOD OF ALL
see...He says Harry had to die for Voldy to die but he guessed( n his guesses were always good as gold!) otherwise...see his ultimate intention was to finish off the man who is terror to the world--ie: He wanted the greater good of all of them who lived...he wasnted Voldemort to die for the good od all men and women...

As far as Dumbledore is concerned. I would like to add that he showed far gr8er remorse in his later years... torn down between his knowledge and his love for his sister...
He understood his limitations too well. He had understood long before (which no one did till his death) in his own words that "he was not to be trusted with power."
Whatever Dumbledore did in his younger days was the mistake of a Young, Ambitious, Smart, Over-Acheiver, Top of the Class in Everything, kind of person. If I were to sum him up he the younger Dumbledore would remind me of Percy.
And so he did go ahead do a Percy. acting stuck in that house and not heeding to what Aberforth was saying. Lost in the dreams that Grindelwald had spun around him. It was the typical mistake an adolescent anywhere in the world would have done. He tried simply to run from his responsibilities.
I wish to bring to your notice now what Dumbledore had said in the scene when he is talking with Harry in his office at the end of OotP. Near the end of the talk he says,
"In fact, being - forgive me - rather cleverer than most men, my mistakes tend to be correspondingly huger."
Only because he was cleverer than most men his mistakes too turned out be correspondingly huger. I think calling Dumbledore a selfish person would be wrong... don't you all agree????
Tejas
Agree completely! A prson who has truly understood the book will love Dumbledore even more...If I loved Him b4..I cant express how much I love him now!!! He is as simple as any man with all emotions and feeling and mistakes...n that made him a great ma and it should be remembered-he was never ashamed of admitting he hated himself. He told Harry how much he Despised himself for what happened years and years ago... Just after(like I said b4) he sauys he rubbed the Resurrection stone to bring back his lost loved ones---dont u see the weeping heart of a man whose heart was all love for those who he had failed to help--those whom he should have?!!! When Harry says "He was never Free" abt Dumbledore to Aberforth and remembers how he had yelled and suffered in pain in the cave while he drak that poisonous potion..I felt like Crying!😭 mn to confess I did..tears did trickle down my face at that😳 He was saying not to hurt them..Hurt Him instead....I felt miserable but at the same time...His esteem went higher and higher still for me!
