book report: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
by J.K. Rowling
I thought this was a great way to wrap up the series. Rowling did a good job of wrapping up the loose ends, of bringing the conflict between Harry and Voldemort to a final resolution, and of explaining their strange connection. I was also pleased that many of the minor characters (Luna, Draco, Neville) also got to develop and change. Finally, even though it was cheesy, I loved the epilogue. That will be an extremely cute scene in the movie when they get to that point in the films.

book forty-four
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
by J.K. Rowling
I'm finally caught up so I can read the latest book, which coworker L* graciously loaned to me.
Although, I really feel like I should read Order of the Phoenix again... I definitely missed something. The whole prophecy/tank of brains/mysterious gateway bidness sort of went over my head. Perhaps I am dense and should wait for the next movie!

book forty-three
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
by J.K. Rowling
Yeah, you know what this one's about too. The movie is coming out this winter, yay!
Harry gets entered in a magic contest where he competes with representatives from two other schools of magic and another contestant from Hogwarts. It's all very dangerous and exciting. Also, Harry starts having funny feelings, possibly in the pants area, about Cho Chang.

book forty-two
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
by J.K. Rowling
Everyone knows what this is about, right? I'm just catching up with the series - I had originally decided I wouldn't read the books until I'd seen the movies, but got impatient. Also, books stick with me better than movies, so I think I'll remember the events of the story better if I read them.
Very briefly: Harry is being pursued by Sirius Black who has escaped from the magician's prison at Azkaban. He's afraid that this Sirius character wants to kill him. For security, Hogwarts is being guarded by dementors, which suck all the happiness out of people... but Harry learns to deflect them with help from Remus Lupin, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.
