There is a lot of information about JK Rowling on her website, so I've picked the key bits for this section.

To read more, here is a link to JK Rowling's website.

Plot

Harry is waiting in Privet Drive. The Order of the Phoenix is coming to escort him safely away without Voldemort and his supporters knowing - if they can. But what will Harry do then? How can he fulfil the momentous and seemingly impossible task that Professor Dumbledore has left him?

Taken from Goodreads.

Deathly Hallows (DH) makes me very sad because not only does the series come to an end, but some of my favourite characters die. It's a really action packed book and so much happens, but it ties up most of the loose strings. Usually, when I reach this point, I want to start my reread straight again, but I do have to show some self-restraint.  

Harry leaving Private Drive for the final time is a very emotional scene as a lot goes down here. Mad-Eye and Hedwig die and George loses an ear. I think it's the first time Harry realises how many people are willing to sacrifice things for him and help him. 

Harry, Ron and Hermione entering the Ministry is such a great scene, but you could tell something was going to go wrong from the beginning. It did make me sad that Ron got splinched, but at least they got the Horcrux and they rescued Mad-Eyes Eye from Umbridge and got revenge (ish) on Umbridge.

The Godric's Hollow scene is such a tender and heartbreaking scene as it's Harry going to the place where his parents died and visiting his parent's grave for the first time. I'm glad he went with Hermione as he needed someone loving to be there for him. The rest of the Godric's Hollow scene shows how everything does seem to go wrong for Harry, especially as his wand gets destroyed.  

Harry, Ron and Hermione being captured by the snatchers and taken to Malfoy Manor makes me want to be there for my favourite people. Ron screaming for Hermione makes me bawl as it shows how much he loves her. Also, Dobby coming to the rescue shows how loyal a house-elf he is.  

Dobby's death is probably the saddest thing in the entire book. It's sad because Harry made Dobby promise never to save him again and he dies in Harry's arms. Harry is just so heartbroken and Luna says lovely things about Dobby. Basically, I love Dobby and wish he had lived.  

The Gringotts scene is one of my favourites as Hermione is awful at impersonating Bellatrix. I feel so bad for the dragon, but it makes me happy that they help it to escape. Griphook is so sneaky, but it was a bit obvious that he was going to betray them. However, in the movie, I do think it's a bit extreme that he dies as he doesn't deserve to. 

Meeting Aberforth in Hogsmeade is a really difficult scene to read as you can see he is a man filled with grief as he feels responsible for his sister's death. It's also where Harry has to admit that Dobby has died. Being reunited with Neville and the other's is so amazing as Neville has sacrificed just as much as Harry has to get rid of the death eaters.  

The Battle of Hogwarts is such a huge and significant event in the Harry Potter books. It shows everyone coming together for Harry. Its where the Weasely's reunite after 3 books. It's where Harry gets one step closer to beating Voldemort. Hermione and Ron's relationship finally begins. As much as I didn't like Crabbe, I felt sorry for him when he died, even if he did try to kill Hermione. Ron punching Draco in the face is very funny.   

Fred, Lupin and Tonks death's during the Battle of Hogwarts makes me weep. The idea of George losing his brother, who is his twin, just breaks my heart. I read a quote from one of the Phelp's brothers when they were filming it, that when they saw their brother made up to look dead, they started crying because they couldn't imagine a world without their twin. Lupin and Tonks' deaths are even sadder as they've just had their son and they'll never get to see him grow up. Colin Creevy's death is also heartbreaking as all he wanted to do was to protect someone he admired. He was underage and had so much more to live for. 

Harry Potter is a wonderful person and is so selfless. To know at age 17, that his death could save the wizarding world and willingly give it up makes me love him more. The conversation he has with his parents, Sirius and Lupin makes me want to bawl my eyes out. The scene with Dumbledore and Harry in King's Cross Station is very emotional and it makes me happy to see Harry kind of confronting Dumbledore. I've seen many people criticising the way Narcissa behaves, but she is doing what she must to protect her son. Narcissa may have her flaws, but she does everything she can to protect her son. Narcissa may have her flaws, but she does everything she can to protect her son. Voldemort's death in the Great Hall makes him seem so human. In the movie where he becomes dust it just looks really rubish and makes him seem more supernatural than he is. 
   

The 19 Years Later epilogue makes me feel so sentimental. It's even more sentimental now that Cursed Child is a thing and you can go see what happens 19 years later. I do think that Harry's children's names are a bit stereotypical, I thought Ginny would have had more of a say in what their children were called. The final line makes me feel so warm and happy. Harry Potter will always hold a special place in my heart and I hope there will never be a day when I don't like it.   

As with all my other reviews, here are my honourable mentions:

• Bill and Fleur's wedding.
• Taking refuge at Grimmauld Place.
• Kreacher's tale.
• Ron leaving and returning.
• Ron destroying the Horcrux.
• Visiting Xenophilius Lovegood and learning about the Deathly Hallows.
• Returning to Hogwarts.
• Snape's death and memories.
• Molly Weasley calling Bellatrix a bitch and killing her.

So that concludes Spooky Weel for 2017! I'm so happy with all these posts and I hope you've enjoyed them. I won't be posting anything else this week, but next week I should be back to normal blogging!
