's review

it was amazing
Read 2 times. Last read April 16, 2013 to May 2, 2013.

First of all, It's awesome finding out that this book is Dedicated specially to you by the Queen herself -for me Joanna Rowling is the English Queen for Magic, just as there's a Queen for muggles- & it's Really yours personally..
If you Stuck With Harry Until The Very End.

I've been stuck with Harry myself for 10 years now..when I first read the Arabic edition of the 1st book on Sep.2003.. I felt how it's different than the movie,The characters more alive ,forcing you to feel that they're your friends, like you're already living with them in the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,it was like my other Home
description
I finished the series in Arabic and start it in English 2 years ago,It was still fresh and as thrilling, emotional ,great as ever.

Here I'll try to stick to review that part of the series only ,till I write more about the experince of living The Harry Potter Saga
My Harry Potter Treasure
The Plot
***

Remember before book 7 release how were we been feeling?
**Harry still got 4 Horcruxes to find -and even to know what it'll be- and even how to destroy it.
**And then Fight the 7th Part of the shuttered soul...Voldemort himself, his Death Eaters and the traitor Snape.
**How he can do all that without Dumbledore , Black and all of those he can't tell about his quest as Dumbledore ask him to not tell but to Ron and Hermione.

We all thought it will be difficult to fit it all in one last volume ,and to wrap up characters and events.
But the amazing plot of that book didn't only fit for that all. and also add a new element "The Deathly Hallows" and fit it perfectly into the full story..

I can't believe how that book fit everything we're all been asking about since the very early beginning ,and some of the facts that anyone wondered about like How the trace dedicate the underage magic, Why we can't just create food from thin air, or why there was a Taboo on saying "Voldemort"'s name..and so more.
It dive deeply into the past of important characters we thought we know enough , Dumbledore and Snape.

From the beginning you see a wrapping up for the characters,the places -like Private Drive- and the events.. you'll see a lines that connected to the very early of the series and book one..you'll be in a journey toward the ending without feeling disconnected from the whole previous events and characters.

There's no something you'll feel-if u pay enough attention - out of place ,out of the plot or out of the characters .

The Characters
****
Was so glad that J.K.Rowling announce that there's no "new" character presented in the last books which was perfect since it's the end of the series and it's better to focus on our beloved characters and the ones we lived wit them for years.

The characters deals here with the "real responsibilities" that comes with the coming of age.
or the quest they asked for and they have to do for their good and greater good

There were no any "Exaggeration" or over acting, the characters go normally ,naturally and very real, The writer chose to describe even the smallest feelings they feel in some important situations like for example Harry's final visit to the Dark Forest, or the boredom of the days on the run from place to place.

And won't forget the wrapping up of Every character sometimes with surprises which is never out of character.
She was always have it all planned and well drawn
description

The Message
*
I have to admit at my second reading I find an extraordinary spiritual amazing message
It starts with the 2 quotations one is pagan, and one is from a Christian tradition.. one about the Death and one about Friends..
and it fit perfectly to the theme of the book,and the message of Love that can beat any other force.

I saw also a symbol in the Dumbledore's character and the whole Harry -Dumbledore's relation, complicated symbol of Faith, religion and religious people. in many ways that you have to look carefully to dedicate it.

ِِAnd look at the final fight between Harry and Voldemort ..I was like..My God you're the best writer EVER
“You’re right. But before you try to kill
me, I’d advise you to think about what you’ve done. . . . Think, and
try for some remorse, Riddle. . . .�

“What is this?�
Of all the things that Harry had said to him, beyond any revelation or taunt, nothing had shocked Voldemort like this. Harry
saw his pupils contract to thin slits, saw the skin around his eyes
whiten.
“It’s your one last chance,� said Harry, “it’s all you’ve got left. . . .
I’ve seen what you’ll be otherwise. . . . Be a man . . . try . . . Try for
some remorse. . . .�

It's not just normal fight between Good and Evil , It's amazing written novel.

Can't seriously describe all of what I want to say about this series Just one thing I can admit,
It's my wonderful journey, It's my friends, It's the books that made me- trying to be- a better person. It's where I meet my friends.. It's where I truly Laugh while reading/living the story..It's where I cry with characters and feel sorry for some.
It's magic..It's real magic cause It's words of Love


So glad to finish it at 2nd May, And so strange I didn't feel I'm going to miss the Harry Potter books although I finished it before in Arabic, and that was the ending of my experience with it in English, But deep inside me is sure I'll go back to Hogwarts again ,re-reading from one to seven soon ISA.

Before I finish I have to share this great man's word..Who really was the best transforming a paper character to a real life

Thank you Joanna Rowling.

Hany Alex هو دة الريفيو بس بعد كل الستيتس اللى كتبتها دى


Mohammed Arabey عيب ده هاري بوتر

الريفيو جاهز اهو :)

ولو ان مش ده كل الكلام اللي كان نفسي اقوله


Marie Chase That's dang cool. My dad speaks Arabic, but he tried to teach me and its super difficult


Mohammed Arabey Well I know Arabic is kinda way different.
You know you can always try to watch more movies with English sub..Then try to watch it without.
"I did that to improve my English by watching Friends Series.,It was fun"
Also try those novels Arabic/English... And if you do like Harry as I ADORE.. you can start with reading the arabic translation books.
BTW Harry Potter was my first novel read in English for non-study :)


Laura Nice review. Usually when I read them, I read them really fast, but this one made me slow down a bit. It's nice to do that once in a while.

Thank you so much , I guess I'll start all over again from time to time it's always fun


Mohammed Arabey Parinita wrote: "Really nice review! Love the Alan Rickman quote at the end! He really brought everything about Snape alive on the screen. :)"

Thank you so much, I was delighted too to hear that's Alan really said so, since He was the reason I loved Snape before I start reading the books "I start read it after watching COS in Cinema " 2003 and since then I adore his character.,Super written by Rowling and Great presented by Alan..
The Sad thing that his role skimmed by the screenwriters and directors :(

WitherMisteri I actually saw the Alan Rickman quote and I didn't know what the hell it meant. But here now, I get a little bit teary eyed from the "always."

It's just so damn sad when you think of what happened to Snape. And again, it will be too sad when Alan Rickman dies himself D:!

Alan Rickman was a PERFECT Snape , the look , the attitude , everything


Greta I love your review. I really says a lot of thing about Harry Potter that are hard to explain without explaining them. The feelings you describe just enough so that the Harry Potter fan can feel those feeling all over again. I read the series 2 years ago, and I feel like I am reading them again for the first time. That is something special.

WOW
This kind of comments doesn't only delight me beyond measures... make me feel like a million thanks for the comment is not enough...
It also prove that the Harry Potter series make all of the fans all over the world feel connected somehow ,feel a real bound as if we're from all of the world are graduated from the same school ,and shared the same year school...as if we're all been classmates

That's why anyone write from his heart about the series can reach for anyone who loved it

Your comment really something I'm so proud of..encourage me to write more -may be when the Illustrated editions comes out..and can't thank you enough..:)
