7am to 9pm..
.. the duration I took to finish HP book 7.
So engrossed that I didn't bother to study chemistry. I am so unexplainably dead. But the 'sacrifice' was worth it for the book was indeed an emotional and action-packed one. For all those who've seen the Harry Potter series as childish, change your opinions as you watch the 6th movie next year and especially the last and 7th one.
**THOSE WHO'VE NOT READ THE BOOK AND DO NOT WANT ME TO BE A SPOILER, MAKE YOUR EYES STAY AWAY FROM THIS ENTRY FOR GOOD. I'VE WARNED YOU.
As I've said loads of times, Snape is going to kill Dumbledore in the 6th movie next year. With that, I believe all readers (including me) have the impression that Snape is evil. Who wouldn't ? But of course book 7 is the book to lots of answers. Why is dumbledore the strongest wizard of them all ? Is Harry himself a horcrux ? Is Snape good or bad ? What's hogwart's fate ? What's up with Voldermort ? Draco ?
Well. I shan't REALLY tell the whole thing as that would make me a complete spoiler.
---------
The 7th book starts from after Dumbledore was burried. Harry was back at home with the Dursleys. Harry told them to evacuate immediately as very soon, the enchantment that protects the house will die off. That would spell ultimate trouble for them. With much hesitance, Vernon agreed in the end and that was the last time Harry ever saw his cousins. btw, Harry and Dudley was nice to each other for the first time in their whole life. Later on Harry needed to be transferred to another location but it appears that he is hunted down badly by death eaters upon entering the skies. It was IMMEDIATE. Hagrid was protecting him and was having a hard time. During that escapade, Harry lost his beloved Hedwig. One of Ron's brother had lost an ear. Mad eye moody died.
The order of phoenix especially kingsley was on the watch all the time. Voldermort now reigns the magical world. With the ministry of magic under control of Voldermort himself, the world was nothing but dark ever since. Harry was constantly on the run with Hermione and Ron. Even during Fleur's wedding day, death eaters appeared suddenly and hunted for Harry but Hermione was clever enough to act fast and they managed to apparate to a muggle cafe. But they were tracked and hunted AGAIN and ATTACKED in the cafe but the three of them managed to escape. They were wondering how their movements were tracked or if it was sheer coincidence. Later on, they decided to camp in the Shrieking Shack for a while since no death eaters or Snape can enter in the house. But death eaters started patrolling around the house and they knew they had to change base. They moved on in 2 forests of which one of the forest they met Gringgot's goblins and eavesdropped on their conversation.
Later on Harry knew he had to get the sword of Gryffindor in order to destroy horcruxes. But somehow a silver patronus Doe helped him locate it. That's a mystery readers will be wondering as I had. Someone is helping Harry but no clue. They managed to destroy the locket and the special cup (which are horcruxes) they robbed in the gringgots bank. Then Harry had to get into Hogwarts to find the 2nd last horcrux which is Ravenclaw's Diadem. This is the point when the read big war starts. The fight starts in Hogwarts. Harry seeked the young Dumbledore's Army for help and asked for McGonagall's help too. Flitwick had casted many magic enchantment's around Hogwarts, Sprout planted dangerous magical plants around hogwarts and McGonagall activated all the statues in Hogwarts to come to life and help protect Hogwarts which is their home for a long time. Such powerful defence all set up. There was definitely enough time for Harry to find the Diadem and destroy it. Eventually he found it after racking his brains. Later on he had wanted to face Voldermort alone in the Shrieking Shack but in invisible mode instead, he saw Snape perished in the hands of Voldermort himself.
**I'm not entering into the Deathly Hallows part. But I tell you it has all to do about Harry and Voldermort and Dumbledore.
Later on Harry managed to see the whole picture in Snape's mind. All the secrets about him. Despite him picking on Harry ALL the time, Snape had loved harry liked his own son constantly protecting him. It was dumbledore who asked him to kill him. It was all planned nights after the prophecy was broken (book 5). Dumbledore had wanted Snape to get into the good books of Voldermort once more and destroy him from there on his own.
**There is something special about Dumbledore's wand and Harry's cloak. ^^
Snape's patronus is a silver doe. ^^ I shan't carry on further. I'll let you guys think what happened. The fights continued where Lupin dies and in fact, some others. You will never believe this to be the most emotional book of them all. Harry met his dead loved ones again and dumbledore explained to him everything. Dumbledore has been hiding something from Harry for a long time and now it is revealed. It was such a shocking and sad thing. Harry was in a deep thinking about his loved ones: Hermione, Ginny, Ron, Luna.. But he embraced his fate and was facing death willingly.

I'd rather the directors skip to the last book movie now. haha. Thats impossible.
The plot thickens and darkens.
I really wonder what are the reactions of other readers around the world.
