Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling

I know I’ve been so lame for waiting this long to read the Harry Potter series but, a great series truly never dies or loses its relevance. It’s been almost a decade since the last Harry Potter book was published but it still hasn’t lost its magic.

I’ve been wanting to read this book for months after I finished reading the Halfblood Prince– I just never had the time to do so since school took over my life. I didn’t want to force myself to read it in the midst of my stressfulness because I knew that I wouldn’t be able to finish it anyway. I wanted to read this book when I had time to myself when I wouldn’t be bothered by anything or anyone. I knew that a great book like this deserves my full attention.

Whenever my friend and I would talk about Harry Potter, they’d always say that I was such a loser for not finishing the entire series so I promised them that I would finish  reading the series before I graduate–And I’m glad to say that I finally did YAY!

If I would compare this book with the rest of the series, I’d say that this was the most action-packed and the most plot twist-filled. I certainly did not see a lot of things coming. I won’t go into detail cause I don’t spoil it for those of you who haven’t read it yet.

From the title of the book itself Deathly Hallows, I kind of anticipated that a lot of characters would die ( and because a lot of people have spoiled it for me). Although I don’t think the title was directly referring to the numerous deaths in the book. I think I’m just being really literal hahaha.

With that being said, I felt like a big ball of emotions while I was reading the book. The plot twists made me gasped like crazy and it certainly did make me feel guilty that I immediately judged the characters in the previous books. I really want to express all my feelings so there’s a lot of spoilers below the cut.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling

It’s been awhile since I last posted a book review. I blame my hectic schedule and constant writer’s block (It really sucks huhu). Since I’m still on Christmas break (and because I’m stalling myself from things I need to do), I finally have the time to get back to writing book reviews.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is the sixth book of the Harry Potterseries and actually took me a really long time to finish this book. I tried reading it about a year ago— right after I finished Order of the Phoenix but I just felt this particular disinterest for the beginning part of the book so I really couldn’t focus on reading it.

After months of trying to get myself to finish the series, or this book for that matter, I finally found my drive to get on with it. After I completed my 2014 reading challenge, I still had about two days before the ended and I was filled with this reading adrenaline so I decided to take this book on.

Like I mentioned earlier, the beginning part of the book sort of bored me, so after getting through to the middle of the story, things started to get interesting and I couldn’t stop reading the book. The flow of the story was so fast-paced that it draws you into reading because you want to know what will happen in the end so bad.

The latter part of the book was filled with emotion. I really felt attached to it. Especially the part where in a character dies huhuhu 😦 Anyway, just like the previous Potter books, it leaves you hanging. You immediately want to grab the next book and find out what happens next.

I don’t even know what to say anymore. How do you even write a book review for a Harry Potter book? The book itself is magical like its content— It needs no definition. It can’t be explained. It’s magic.
