 | Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - J. K. Rowling - Book Review By: Marty Dodge - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 7/21/2007 3:45 PM | | Deathly Hallows is dark and bloody, but then again what do you expect with Voldermort kicking around? One thing that strikes one throughout the book is that it is rather visual, almost cinematic. The book was clearly written in a manner that would not make it too terribly hard to turn into a script....read the full review |

After ten years and seven novels the magical saga of Harry Potter has finally reached its conclusion. The countdowns are over, the hype begins to subside, and the biggest question surrounding J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (besides whether Severus Snape is indeed friend or foe) can be answered - was it a worthwhile journey?...read the full review |

| Author Bio| J. K. Rowling | | One night, as a young J. K. (Joanne Kathleen) Rowling traveled from Manchester to London by train, an idea for a book about a boy wizard named Harry Potter formed in her mind. It would change the course of her life forever. As a young girl growing up in Chepstow, Gwent, a historic town near the Lower Wye Valley in Southern England, Rowling loved to tell stories, and started to write them down when she was 6-years-old. Throughout her schooling, she entertained her friends during lunchtime with fantastic made-up stories. After studying French at the University of Exeter, Rowling went on to work in London, until at age 26, she moved to Portugal to teach English as a second language. There, she married, became pregnant, and worked on her Harry Potter manuscript whenever she had a spare second. The death of her own mother made his orphaned state much more real to her. Rowling?s marriage ended in divorce, and she moved to Edinburgh with her newborn daughter, Jessica. ||After five years of writing, and a year?s worth of publisher rejections, HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE was bought by Bloomsbury (U.K.) and published in June 1997. Shortly after Bloomsbury bought the manuscript, the rights were sold in America, where it was published in September 1998 as HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE. Her book not only received lavish praise, winning the British Book Awards Children's Book of the Year and the Smarties Prize, but earned Rowling enough money to quit teaching and write full time. Her subsequent Harry Potter books, all spectacular bestsellers, have continued to receive British and American awards, and are all being made into films. Having reached her lifelong dream of becoming a professional writer, Rowling encourages children who want to write to read as much as they can. In its July/August 2001 issue, Book magazine named Rowling one of the "Ten People Who Decide what America Reads." |

Harry Potter series is a great read. I very much enjoy all of the Hard Cover books that came together in the Harry Potter trunk. For the price of all of the books together and the trunk to keep the books together I couldn't ask for a better deal. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 damaged Saturday, December 29, 2007
A Reader from Wisconsin
Books are great...book seven had a damaged book cover, even though it was sealed in plastic. The box was incredibly cheap...Scholastic should be ashamed after all the money they've made off of Harry Potter!! Was this review helpful?
