In this conclusion, we get a much needed conclusion to the epic battle between good and evil. Harry Potter finally turns seventeen at the beginning of this book, which in the wizarding world means he is of age. This means that the magic that has been protecting Harry Potter from Voldemort while he is at his aunt and uncle's house is finally broken, and Voldemort can attack. Following his escape when he turns seventeen, Harry, Ron, and Hermione set off to figure out how to find the remaining horcruxs and determine how to destroy them, in the hopes that without the horcruxs, Harry will stand a chance against Voldemort when he inevitably has his final battle.
I loved every second of this book. There is so much action, adventure, scheming, and we FINALLY get to see Ron openly show affection towards Hermione (YAY). There were definitely moments that were difficult to read, but I understand their value and how they worked to propel the story forward. One of these moments was when Ron left Harry and Hermione in the woods because he was convinced they were having some sort of affair. Seeing Ron turn on them and doubt them, even for a moment, was devastating. Seeing the fallout and how much it hurt Hermione was heartbreaking. But I think this really highlighted how negatively the horcruxs affect people, and how much evil is really inside them. I screamed when Ron made it back to them safely, and saved Harry from a probable death! Another moment that broke my heart was Snape's death. Having already seen all the movies, I knew that he was a misunderstood character, but that did not make it any easier to read. Snape loved Lily, Harry's mom, he always did. They met as children, and he bonded with her more than he had bonded with anyone. He always sought to protect her and every action he took came from a place of love for her, even when it hurt him to do so. He watched out for Harry in his own way.
I loved how this book ended. The final battle was executed perfectly, and was filled with the highest of stakes, action, remorse, and the pinnacle of an example of good versus evil. I really enjoyed seeing Harry and the gang propelled in the future, taking their own children to the Hogwarts express. It was a poetic end to a beautiful story. I am so sad that there is no more after this book, but I do think this story ended exactly how it should have!
I loved every moment of reading this series, and I already want to reread it!
