Introduction:

                        “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” is the idea of J.K Rowling, a British author who aims to fame due to her Harry Potter series. Thought of this story, she claims on a train journey from Manchester to London. Rowling, in her very first venture into the world of writing created a highly imaginative work of fiction, necessary her readers in a magical spell for seven long years in the wizarding world, where the story of Harry Potter unfolds. “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” are the seventh  and the last book of the series. According to me, the most be Suitable end and the best fictional tales of the century.”Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” is, as mentioned above, the last of a series of Harry Potter books. The book is a work of fiction that transports readers to an in total different world of magic full of mythical creatures, fantastical objects and spells and witches and wizards. Combining all the worldly superstitions and myths with one heck of a thought, Rowling believes that is the most attractive feature of the book.

                         At the age of one, a series of dealings make Harry a celebrity among the magical community. Unluckily here the death of Harry’s parents who died trying to protect him from the most evil wizard of all time, Voldemort the dark lord. That night , Voldemort meets his end when the killing curse aimed at Harry bounces back falling the dark lord to a piece of soul, with Harry escaping death with a mere scar on his forehead. Eleven years later, Harry who was, lives with his relatives at that time surprise thing that he is a wizard and is supposed to attend a school of magic named Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Ronald Weasely and Hermione Granger, students of hogwartians, are his two best friends that join with him the end of this fiction

. Dumbledore the principal of the school is a well-known personality and is ranked as one of the most wizards of his time. The clever old man though, knows and fears much to be insecure of Harry’s future and of the wizarding world in general.

                            In the sixth part Dumbledore dies leaving Harry with clear instructions to find all the horcruxes and destroy them. The seventh part opens with the organization of the dark lord’s system with Voldemort taking over the ministry of magic as well as the administration of Hogwarts.

                                 Meanwhile, Harry’s relation with the dark lord enables him to enter his mind and get updated knowledge of all his activities and plans. The story takes a twist when by some significant incidence Harry finds the Gryffindor’s sword, the one that can destroy the horcruxes.

                                Here in  this story  J.K Powling presents very new climax, the deathly Hallows are the three objects that make the owner a master of death, a very effectively . Also much debate and mystery setting the character of Severus Snape, who is actually a death eater who detective on Voldemort on Dumbledore’s instructions, but he kills Dumbledore in the sixth part. Harry is already doubts against Dumbledore; there are so many things he hid from Harry. Snape’s true loyalty and Dumbledore’s betrayal together donate to a moving and amazing climax.

                                      It is very well structure of the novel with full justice done to every character. Rowling has also highlight on the characters of the smaller creatures like house elves and goblins and their role in the conflict against the dark lord’s command. We can say that Hagrid’s role has deal quite a small but the ending makes up for it all. The book also marks the coming of age of the three center characters Harry, Ron and Hermione. This has been beautifully portrayed. J.K Rowling explains the character of Voldemort has been discussed in great detail, following from the sixth part where Dumbledore gives an idea of the young Voldemort. In this part Voldemort’s changeable pride and insecurities are brought into focus which finally leads to his downfall. Also, as mentioned before Dumbledore has been discussed a great deal, one might say that it doesn’t do a lot for the plot of the book however discussion of his life brings forth the clear contrast between his and Harry’s nature and the reason as to why Harry could succeed where he fail. So here we can said that Rowling declaring the finality of the story has also given a glance into the future of Harry Potter in the epilogue.

                                                Harry is all set to risk into the unknown world of dark magic to bring dark lord’s downfall. Hermione and Ron come with him to help him in his search. However, the journey isn’t all that easy going and motivating as it seemed in the beginning. With the death eaters and even the ministry after them, they have to find new locations in remote areas normally to camp. Apart from keeping themselves alive they also have to worry about the destruction of horcruxes. Harry is also fighting an internal war arising from Dumbledore’s biography .which talks about Dumbledore’s dark past and his experiments with dark magic, shaking.

                                       Here is the seventh year on Hogwarts and there is a lot going on in this book. It is full of twists, turns and heart-pumping scenes. Each scene is remarkable and we don’t want to stop reading. Throughout the book there are very many questions we want to know the answer on. Who will die? What will happen next? And so on. Harry Potter and his friends are in risk and nobody wants to die. They need to solve the problems and kill Lord Voldermort, before he kills everyone else.  So here we can say that the style of Rowling is excellent. Here she is presenting one by one character on the situations. For this reason readers have interest to read her all books with concentration.

                                  All books saw Harry, Ron, Hermione and friends changing and growing older, as Rowling's style grown in tandem. There's no doubt that she's grown as an author over the course of the series, but the progress seems more like an intentional effort to have the difficulty of the book itself mirror the state of the characters and the world they live in. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the end of all this.

                                  It is clear that fictional stories have always thrived off the imaginations of their writers. Even so, it is also true that most authors are inspired by the world around them to write their stories. Modern writer J.K. Rowing is an example of this type of writer. In truth, though she is very powerfully influenced by her own culture in England, Rowling, like many other modern writers, is equally inspired by literature, culture and historical events of countries around the world. J.K. Rowling is known to have created not only a detailed and attractive story, but also a fully new magical world in which her characters live. Thus, we see that even though this world is suspicious fictional, the author creates a world that maintains all the aspects of the real world. Through her characters such as Voldemort and Grindelwald, presents well.

                                 In general, as human beings, we are always trying to improve the community that we live in. The trouble is what is right and good for one person may not basically be right for another. These ideas of ethnic cleansing and hatred are identical to those expressed through the "villains" of Rowling's Harry Potter series. In the magical world, wizards who had blood that had been "tainted" by a Muggle were dying by unfair wizards. Rowling shows us the prejudiced ideologies of three wizards in particular, other than Voldemort. Firstly, Salazar Slytherin, one of the founders of Hogwarts, believed that only pure-blooded wizards deserved to attend the school.  Also, Grindelwald and Dumbledore believed in wizard superiority over Muggles and wished to remove from power the Muggle.

                                   Here J.K.Rowling presents very beautifully all think. Because here presents all characters, she gave very perfect name to all characters. Voldemort’s personality can be summarized by the significance of his name. The fact that voldemort changed his name from Tom Riddle represents many things. First, it shows that he was racist and feeling shame of his Muggle blood. Secondly, it shows that he saw himself as a superior human being for whom a normal name did not suffice. Thirdly, his name, meaning journey from death shows that his power was strong enough to conquer even his biggest fear. We see thought the serious that the mere talk about of his name invokes fear in people to the point where normal wizards call him his followers call him the Dark Lord. For the story, the fact that Harry calls him by his weak and sad name, Riddle, directly before he defeats him becomes an act of large significance, Harry shows him, at his last moment of life that he is indeed not a superior and unshakable human being.

                                                As his adventures and the danger he’s in increase, Harry begins to truly understand what Dumbledore planned him to do. He realizes, almost at the last minute, that his own life will have to be sacrificed in order for Voldemort to truly be beaten. Full with love for his friends, he willingly gives his life so that they may live.

                                           His last act of heroism, however, saves his life. He meets Dumbledore again in death, and Dumbledore answers many of his questions. He is given a choice to stay or to go back, and he chooses to go back and fight. It’s all over between Harry and Voldemort with just one magic charm. Harry is left alive, the true master of the Hallows, and Voldemort is killed for good. He now understands more than he ever has about love, life, and sacrifice, and in spite of the loss of many of his friends during the last fight, is satisfying for the second chance he’s been given at life, and love.

                                        J.K Rowling is creating very powerful character of Dumbledore’s. Here she sends the reader an important message that each person, no matter their age, race or difference in personality, can make a different and add to the fight bigotry. She reminds us that we must fight for what we believe in and what we are stronger united. She also presents constantly the themes of bravery and loyalty all over her book serious. Still, this moral is made clear in the final battle when students from all four houses at Hogwarts join up to conquer voldemort and his followers. She is presenting all serious very parallels. In reality, through her characters, her storyline and subplots, she is able to express her own interpretation, opinions and analysis of these historical events.

Conclusion:

                                   Here all, the dialogue that takes place between Harry and Voldemort when they finally duel face to face is remarkable. One of the drawbacks of the book is that it cannot be enjoyed much as an individual read. It is totally connected to the earlier parts and there should at least be a certain degree of knowledge about the world of Harry Potter before one understands “Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows”. Rowling’s magical theories and philosophies make things a bit complex at the end however; it is not really a big deal.

                                   The book absolutely sends out a strong message to the readers. It is not only about evil dying and goodness triumphing but majorly concerns itself with the power of love and virtues of courage and selflessness. Harry Potter is an essence of all this. The climax of the book very beautifully brings out these messages. Rowling highlight on the fact that the reason Harry was special wasn’t because of any hidden magical power, but because of the love and sacrifice of his mother who died protecting him. This is just what he does when he sets out to fight the dark lord for the sake of others. The power of love and friendship plus the courage and will to fight against wrong is something that book talks about in great detail. All this makes the book very special and is a must read for all.
