Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Book Review (Taking a Stand)

Harry Potter and The Deathly hallows by J.K. Rowling charmed me with an enchanting tale of a boy and his distraught past. The book keeps the reader wondering but more importantly gives many answers.
The book keeps to a specific theme thoroughly, standing up for whats right. Harry himself demonstrates this throughout the whole book by fighting against the evil Death Eaters and Tom Riddle. Harry could easily just run and hide however he runs strait into a possible death and risks his friends also. While they are on the epic journey to take down Riddle they, Ron, Hermione, and Harry, never loose sight of their values, mostly at the expense of Hermione setting them strait. Acts of righteousness such as never killing or hurting anyone not only kept them well hidden but also set strait who's side they where on.
The story can not be understood unless the first 6 books where read first. At the end of the 6th book the reader learns that Tom Riddle cannot be killed unless all six horcruxes,items that can be made to carry a part of ones soul, are destroyed. Normally the three friends, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, would be heading back to Hogwarts for their 7th and last year however Dumbledore had left a mission for them to complete, they where to destroy all of the remaining horcruxes, two had already been destroyed. They had skipped the train ride to Hogwarts and headed for where they thought a hohorcrux, a locket, was. They succeed in stealing it from a highly guarded building thanks to a well thought out plan. In order to destroy it they used a sword infused with a rare venom. Meanwhile they are informed of a myth called the Deathly Hallows. These three objects,a stone, a wand and a cloak, have unimaginable powers. After weeks of wondering around for another horcrux they decide to look inside of Hogwarts. When they arrived they found many new surprises. Will Harry, Ron and Hermione survive the last and final battle? What will have to be done in order to take down Tom Riddle? Who will go after the Deathly Hallows? Do they even exist?
Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows absolutely flabbergasted me with an imaginative tale and a never-gets-old plot. Read this wonderful book right away.
