Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Book
J. K. Rowling’s monumental, spellbinding epic, 10 years in the making, is deeply rooted in traditional literature and Hollywood sagas — from the Greek myths to Dickens and Tolkien to “Star Wars.”
Michiko Kakutani, The NYtimes
"That which Voldemort does not value, he takes no trouble to understand. Of house-elves and children's tales, of love, loyalty, and innocence, Voldemort knows and understands nothing. Nothing. That they all have a power beyond his own, a power beyond the reach of any magic, is a truth he has never grasped."
Albus Dumbledore
CHARACTER ANALYSIS
Harry Potter and the Deathy Hollow Part 1
There are many characters created by Rowling that I really liked, but there is one character who I don’t like. She sets up lots of rules at Hogwarts. As a student, I like to have some sort of flexibility and freedom at school, so when I was reading about her, I always talked to myself, “Thank God. She’s not my teacher.” To me, Dolores Umbridge is an evil woman, nothing more than a social pervert. She represents the worst political power. She is ruthless, longing for power, and has no moral or moral center. Her life in Hogwarts is characterized by cruel and abusive behavior towards students. Due to her interference and condescension, most students and teachers are full of contempt for her.
"Do not pity the dead, Harry, pity the living. Above all, pity those who live without love. By returning you may ensure that fewer souls are maimed and fewer families are torn apart. If that seems to you a worthy goal, then we say goodbye for the present."
