Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
I am currently re-reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in anticipation of the 7th and final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, coming out this summer. That raises the question, which Harry Potter book do I like the best?
The first was okay. The second I didn’t care for. The third was pretty good. The fourth was okay, the ending was fantastic. You know, right at the end of the Tri-Wizard Tournament when he is transported to the cemetary. The 5th was also good. I’m still in shock over Sirius. I have trouble believing that’s real. Then the 6th. Also pretty good. Also still in shock at the end. That raises the next question: Who will die in the final book?
This is a toughy. I am old-fashioned. I want the bad guys to get their comeuppance. I want the good guys to sail off into the sunset. I have my fears that J.K. Rowling will not let this happen. She’s let so many die that I really grew to like. I understand that this is an epic battle, not everyone can make it. But Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, McGonagall, Hagrid and Mr. And Mrs. Weasley have to make it through. Otherwise we will be left feeling that there is no hope.
What do you think? Who will die? Who will live? Which book is your favorite?
