Synopsis: Harry Potter is leaving Privet Drive for the last time. But as he climbs into the sidecar of Hagrid’s motorbike and they take to the skies, he knows Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters will not be far behind.

The protective charm that has kept him safe until now is broken. But the Dark Lord is breathing fear into everything he loves. And he knows he can’t keep hiding.

To stop Voldemort, Harry knows he must find the remaining Horcruxes and destroy them.

Review: For the most part I adored this book! The plot was intriguing from start to finish and the characters were well developed. I loved how much more developed Ron was in this book as well. The book also did decent with the world building and the pacing.

However, I felt like the book had some unclear moments, especially during the fight scene. The writing was a bit unclear and not as well detailed as one would have liked. The book also had a lot of information coming at the reader and it takes a good deal of attention to detail to understand it all.

Verdict: It was a great ending to the series.
