'The longer we stay here, the stronger he gets'

This is the seventh and final book in the Harry Potter series and is all about Harry’s final few adventures that lead him into the hands of the evil Lord Voldemort. Voldemort wants one thing more then anything - to be immortal. He believes that the only thing standing in his way from immortality is Harry, so he takes immediate action, putting a serious operation in order. Being as powerful and full of dark magic that he is, Voldemort did something that other dark wizards have only attempted to do - splitting his soul. Basically, he has split his soul into seven pieces, and hidden them in objects of important value to him. A horcrux can be anywhere, from a inside a wellington boot, to inside a diamond ring. The only way Harry can properly defeat Voldemort, is if he demolishes all seven horcruxes, and finally Voldemort himself. Harry takes a big risk, and decides that he doesn't want to return to Hogwarts for his final year. Instead, he decides to continue searching for the last few of the hocruxes that belong to Lord Voldemort with the help of his two best friends Ron and Hermione. Tensions run high in this book, and their friendship is really put to the test, as they are on the run from the ministry of magic and the death eaters who won't stop until they've found 'Undesirable No. 1'...... This book ties up all the loose ends from the previous six, and is definitely a poignant read as many memorable characters die during the battle of Hogwarts to save Harry. With all this resting on Harry’s shoulders, he must save the wizarding world and fulfill the prophecy “Neither must live while the other survives” before it’s too late! My favourite character is probably Hermione Granger, because in this book, she takes on more of a leading role, as her knowledge and strong leadership skills are needed to protect herself and Harry and Ron, since they are now no longer under the safety and protection of Hogwarts. Throughout the seven books, she has remained a strong, loyal, sensible, brave, independent character and she has shown that she can also work well under pressure. I absolutely love the Harry Potter series and definitely recommend it to everyone who enjoys reading action packed and fantastic adventure stories, with characters that will remain with you until the very end.
I would rate this book: 5/5!
