Reading Reflection #7
Book: Harry Potter and the half blood prince/ deathly hollows
Author: J.K. Rowling
pages:....
Im going to use this reading reflection to respond to both of these harry potter books because i finished them and was not able to. What i really wanted to focus is the "so what". What is it that I was supposed to get from these books? Well these last two book were by fare the darkest of the series, and I believe that what J.K Rowling was trying to do is really show just how desperate the situation had become ever since Voldemort came back. There where at times absolutely pointless casualties at times, these kind of things really bugged me but in the whole of the two books it really painted the picture of just dangerous the life of everyone had become.
What I found intriguing is that you were no long just trying to follow Harry, you really wanted to know if everyone else was ok as well
Now there was a few things in the plot that bothered me, things for me that would have been simple to avoid, like when Harry is being moved out of the house and they find themselves caught within a ring of death eaters at the night they intended to move him. if they really didn't want to be caught they would have changed the date they moved at the house so that there was a an absolute flaw in the death eaters plans. Also if a portkey is so safe why not just make one at the house and go from there. there was a couple more things like this that I at least found an obvious problem with.
Other then these kind of problems i was very satisfied with how the story line played out and very happy to be reading it even though i saw the movie. Like most books it had things that a movie could never wish to hold. like the description of how harry was feeling when he went to his own death, there were also all sorts of things that were left out, that is why i will always be happy to read a book even if i have seen the movie.
