christiansavin 's review for:
Harry Potter și Talismanele Morții
by J.K. Rowling
Finite Incantatem
The seventh book brings a great ending to (and I'm thrilled I am now able to finally say it) one of the best series of all time. Not the best ending that there could have been, but definitely great.
The battle of Hogwarts and its final reprise were my favorite parts, while the tragedy of the Dumbledore family should have been in the movie.
As for plot devices, I wasn't a fan of Harry's stubbornness in telling anybody else about the Hocruxes, which gave the trio the perfect excuse to isolate themselves from the other characters for most of the book. The concept of a wand's loyalty didn't make any sense. It would have worked with the Elder Wand alone, but even that felt like an obvious way to give Harry the upper hand in his last duel with Voldy.
The epilogue was a touching and very rewarding way-both for the characters and for us the readers-to wrap up the story. HOWEVER, Lily's second name should have been Minerva for how supportive McGonagall's been with Harry throughout the series, and naming his younger son after the man that tormented him-and most of the students- for almost six years did not sit well with me at all. Yes, the way Snape served Dumbledore till the very end was admirable and I can respect that, but as a person, he was still horrible, and as a teacher, he was second only to Umbridge in terms of abusive behaviour.
