The Potter Mania is back again! After watching the Order of the Phoenix, I’ve been on the Hogwarts Express too many times! I got my copy of the Deathly Hallows on the 21st July (as did all the other maniacs like me) but realized that I hadn’t read the Half Blooded Prince at all! So I went out and got that book too! I read book 6 and 7 back to back.

I would get up in the middle of the night many times… dreaming about Lord Voldemort trying to kill me! That’s how much I got involved with – book 7. It’s a smashing book right from the 1st chapter (apart from the first half of the 2nd chapter which is really a drag!) until the very ending of the book. Every chapter leaves you with the excitement of… what’s next. What happens next?!? So of course, I hardly slept during the week.

Rowling has a lot to say. She’s been telling us a story over the last 6 years. And now she suddenly wants to conclude with this book. So, at times, you do feel that there is too much happening in this one book. However, the book manages to answer all your questions about Harry Potter & Voldemort. That’s what it’s supposed to do it. Isn’t it? She’s done it well, leaving you with little to guess and longing for more!

There’s a lot of action happening in this book and there’s never a moment when ‘nothing’ is happening really. Harry, Hermione and Ron are out of Hogwarts and on their way in search for the other Horcurxes of Voldemort. Their journey is splendid. On their way they get help from their family and friends. Dumbledore’s Army still stands strong and looks after Hogwarts for them. The order of the phoenix still is trying their best too. Hermoine and Ron still fight about every single thing – but they’re such cute lovebirds!!! You just wanna say – “shut up and kiss him you fool” – to Hermoine sooooo many times!

The three of them appear so much more mature and sensible. The courage, the understanding, the knowledge and the true power of friendship – makes them unbeatable.

After reading the book, I’ve watched all of the movies again – and I’m still dreaming about potters and weasley’s and malfoy’s and what nots! If you are a potter fan, I’m sure you are going through the same thing.
