Harry has been burdened with a dark, dangerous and seemingly impossible task: that of locating and destroying Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes. Never has Harry felt so alone, or faced a future so full of shadows. But Harry must somehow find within himself the strength to complete the task he has been given. He must leave the warmth, safety, and companionship of The Burrow and follow without fear or hesitation the inexorable path laid out for him.

I'm sure I'll recover from reading this book in due course. My shattered heart will repair itself in time. In case you haven't read the book of both movies, shit gets serious in The Deathly Hallows. There are epic battles, tragic deaths and the like. One of saddest moments in the book, a moment that had me sobbing brokenly, is when Dobby, the loyal house-elf, who idolises Harry, is killed by foul Bellatrix Lestrange. This senseless death seemed to hit me the hardest. Another highlight is when Voldemort kills Snape and Harry learns the truth of the love he's carried for Harry's mother since he was a child and his true loyalty to Dumbledore. And not to mention when Mrs. Weasley, usually portrayed as a housewife cleaning and baking cakes, duels with Bellatrix and kills her. Who knew Mrs. Weasley was such a badass? The battle at Hogwarts is cool as well. Oh, and the epilogue set nineteen years later. The Deathly Hallows is my favourite in the Harry Potter books.
