Harry Potter Book 7 thoughts

Harry Potter Book 7 Thoughts
Authors Note: When I was reading this book, my parents were making me, but I’m happy that they did otherwise I would’ve never learned about this wonderful series.  I love the whole magic part of the book. Normally you don’t see magic in books anymore, but in this series, there’s a lot of magic.

          Wizards are the most powerful beings on this earth. They can cast spells that can help you in everyday life, and they can cast spells that can kill, torture and do many other things. This series is about a special boy whose destiny started at only a few months old.

          It’s very difficult for him because he is different than everybody else. Wizards like him, when young have to go to special schools, to hone their powers and find out what they’re good at and what they’re not. Just like in any magic movie/book you read, there’s always a strong, powerful main character.

          You may not realize that the person is strong, but as these types of books you learn about the character. You learn his/ hers likes, and dislikes; their strength’s, and weaknesses and how they progress into the movie or books.

          Most movies are predictable, but these movies, I didn’t know what was going to happen next; it always kept me at the edge of my seat. That’s why action, adventure, and fantasy books are, and always be my favorite kind of book.

How Harry Potter was able to pull it off

Harry Potter Book 7
          In the beginning Harry was confused, because he was about to turn 17, and if you’re a wizard, that’s when you can use magic outside of school. And the ministry of magic can monitor every spell you use (and Voldemort had taken over the ministry of magic, until you’re 17. Harry had to leave, but couldn’t use a spell, and he had nowhere else to turn.

          When I was reading this I thought to myself, he’s going to die because he had nowhere to go. Until lots of his friends and people from school, (teachers) came to help. They all had to escape on a broom stick, and everyone knew harry was the best flyer.

          Harry didn’t know where to go, so he was appointed a guardian, Hagrid. And instead of flying on a broom he flew on a motorcycle, because he was too big for a broom stick. It must’ve been difficult to drive a flying motorcycle and you could only imagine what was going through their minds

          Harry was able to make it he was so relieved. But he had lots of challenges ahead. While he was going along he started learning more about the world, his life, and the people around him. He knew what spell to use at all times. And the book he does some different things in the book then the movie.

          He used different spells and some things happened differently. He felt guilty when he made his best friend run away and he thought it was all his fault. And he tried to make up for it but was never able too. At least until his friend came back. They lived and heard very little things. They were very worried because almost every person in the wizard world was against them.

          Like I said, in the beginning he was confused and didn’t know what to do. Then in the middle he started to adapt. And by the end he knew what to do, how to do it, and at exactly what time to do it. And I believe if it ever happened again, that no other person other than Harry would be able to do what he did.

L.A. 3rd essay

The Rise Of The Shadow King

Prologue – “Why can’t I move? This is just a dream, right?” Thought Max. “This is just a dream,” *Long Sratch* “What was that, why can’t I talk!” Max thought, “Oh no, What it that-“ Right when the monster raised his claw……. Beep! Beep! Max woke up, and the adventure begins!

 Grade 5-8-Sixth-grader Max Sumner and his three best friends, Harley, Natalia, and Ernie, refer to themselves as the Grey Griffins. They enjoy sharing a fantasy role-play game called Round Table with elderly Iver Iverson, the proprietor of Avalon, Minnesota's Shoppe of Antiquities. It is played with odd-shaped dice and cards that depict a variety of fantastic creatures and characters-spriggans, garden faeries, goblins, and more.


Iver takes the game very seriously, and the Grey Griffins learn they must do the same once Max accidentally releases a spriggan, a faerie that can shape-shift, from a magical book he finds in his grandmother's attic. Max starts getting scared as other characters from the cards start appearing around Avalon, such as the Black Witch Morgan LaFey, the Slayer goblin, and a lot of other monsters and faeries. The four friends realize that they have to save the world. As they learn, bit by bit, that Max might be a descendant of King Arthur and the Knights Templar. Iver and many of the other adults in their lives are there to guide him in accepting his destiny, or, in some cases, to prevent him from doing so.


There are many other stories, furthering their adventures. I think fantasy and these types of stories are very imaginative, but I wonder what’s going through the authors head when he writes these stories. And you have I have a big imagination to do these types of books. One day I would like to have my own Fantasy, Science-Fiction series myself. I recommend this book/ series to readers who like Fantasy and adventure.
