The book I read was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows by J.K. Rowling. This is the must-read final book of the thrilling series everyone knows as Harry Potter. The most important characters are of course, Harry Potter: the chosen one who can do about everything from waving a wand, to killing the bad guys. Harry’s best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, are the reason why he can do it all and then some. Ron is the quirky friend Harry needs in his dark times with people trying to kill him. Hermione is the intelligent friend Harry requires for his mission to destroy Voldermort.
The main plot is when Harry, Ron, and Hermione must destroy the Horcruxs, a small item that can be destroyed to weakening Voldermort. He is a dark wizard, who almost killed Harry, while killing his parents. Harry’s problem or conflict is that he doesn’t believe in himself. Harry’s trainer and the person who had all the answers to his questions is Dumbledore and in the sixth book, he died. Everyone who Harry loved was gone: his parents, his godfather, his guide to everything about the wizard world, Dumbledore all died because of mostly Voldermort and his followers . But that is all going to change because that is the past and the present is that Harry must save the world. Using foreshadowing, symbolism, and characterization, J.K. Rowling creates a memorable book everyone should read.
