Harry
Potter is a series of seven fantasy
novels written by the British author
J. K. Rowling. The books chronicle
the adventures of the adolescent
wizard Harry Potter and his best
friends Ron Weasley and Hermione
Granger, all of whom are students at
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and
Wizardry. The main story arc
concerns Harry's quandary involving
the evil wizard Lord Voldemort, who
killed Harry's parents in his quest
to conquer the wizarding world and
subjugate non-magical people (Muggles).
Harry
Potter and the Deathly Hallows is
the seventh and final of the Harry
Potter novels written by British
author J. K. Rowling. The book was
released on 21 July 2007, ending the
series that began in 1997 with the
publication of Harry Potter and the
Philosopher's Stone. This book
chronicles the events directly
following Harry Potter and the
Half-Blood Prince (2005), and leads
to the long-awaited final
confrontation between Harry Potter
and Lord Voldemort.
The
Baltimore Sun's critic, Mary Carole
McCauley, praised the series as "a
classic bildungsroman, or
coming-of-age tale." She noted that
the book was more serious than the
previous novels in the series and
had more straightforward prose.[53]
Furthermore, reviewer Alice Fordham
from The Times writes that
"Rowling’s genius is not just her
total realisation of a fantasy
world, but the quieter skill of
creating characters that bounce off
the page, real and flawed and brave
and lovable." Fordham concludes, "We
have been a long way together, and
neither Rowling nor Harry let us
down in the end." New York Times
writer Michiko Kakutani agrees,
praising Rowling's ability to make
Harry both a hero and a character
that can be related to.
