The Harry Potter series really made me want to read on my own time. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was one of my favorites. It was the final book in the Harry Potter series. It starts, as always, with Harry is in the Dursley's house, but not long after that Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, and Dudley leave with a bunch of wizards for their own protection. Harry is transported during the night when no Death Eaters are supposed to know he's going to be transported. However, there is a mistake, and they show up. Voldemort appears, flying. He makes a desperate move to kill Harry, but hits Harry's owl, Hedwig, instead.
Harry eventually gets to where he is safe, but instead of going back to Hogwarts like usual, Harry, Ron, and Hermione decide to quit school. During Bill Weasley and Fluer Delacor's wedding, Death Eaters show up again. Hermione apparates them to a town, but when they go into a coffee shop, two Death Eaters are there. Harry, Ron, and Hermione manage to stun them all with their wands.
After leaving the coffee shop, Hermione apparates them to a forest. Then, she and Ron get into a fight, and Ron leaves them. After that, Harry decides he wants to go to his parents graves in Godric's Hollow. When he goes there, he finds a woman named Bathilda Bagshot. Thinking she is a fellow wizard, Harry and Hermione follow Bathilda into her house. When they are in her bedroom, she hands them one of the Deathly Hallows, a locket with a chain. The Deathly Hallows are things that need to be destroyed before they can kill Voldemort. Voldemort put pieces of his soul in objects so he can never die.) Then all of a sudden a snake bursts out of her chest. It is Voldemort's snake, Nagini. Nagini calls Voldemort to appear, but he does not come soon enough to prevent Nagini from tearing open Harry's shoulder. Harry and Hermione jump out the window into the night, and Harry passes out. While passed out, he remembers every single detail of the night his parents died perfectly, from Voldemort's perspective.
The next day Harry is on night watch while Hermione is asleep and sees a patronus of a doe. He follows the doe to a small pool and inside the pool he sees the glinting handle of the sword of Godric Gryffindor. He takes off all his clothes and dives in, not thinking about the locket he still has on. The locket uses it's magical power to try to drown him, when Ron dives down and picks him up out of the water. Harry is as much surprised to see Ron as Ron is to see him drowning in the pool. Ron pierces the locket with the sword, and one of the Deathly Hallows is vanquished.
This is the very first part of the story, but I don't want to ruin the book for you. You've got to read the book. This is really the best book. I was very amazed when I read this story because of the author's writing style. It feels like you're inside the story. It seems like you can picture every single word that you read. I find sometimes that I wish it was real. It seems like such an enjoyable world to live in. Sure there are Death Eaters and people trying to kill you, but you have magic and that's all that matters for me!
