Harry Potter And the Deathly Hallows
In Harry Potter And the Deathly Hallows, Harry Must stop Lord Voldemort by destroying all the Horcruxes, or pieces of Lord Voldemort’s soul. But now, after reading the legend of the Deathly Hallows, Harry, Ron and Hermione must choose which path to follow. Ron thinks that they should find the Deathly Hallows, but Harry and Hermione think that it would be safer to find the remaining 3 horcruxes. Later, Harry learns that he is a horcrux and has to die in order for Voldemort to be defeated. Through this book, I learned that sometimes sacrifices are needed for a greater cause.
Throughout the book, I have seen the theme in many ways. In the middle of the last book, Harry realises that when Voldemort was first defeated, the part of his soul residing in him was transferred into Harry, so he has many of Voldemort’s traits, such as speaking Parseltongue. Harry must sacrifice himself to defeat Voldemort.
I have seen the theme in many ways. Towards the end of the series Dumbledore, Harry’s headmaster, must not blow the cover of Severus Snape, who is pretending to work for Voldemort. He allows Snape to kill him to prove his loyalty to Voldemort. Dumbledore knew that it would be better for him to use the last of his life to prove Snape’s loyalty than to just die peacefully.
Through this book, I learned that sometimes sacrifices are needed for a greater cause. I think that this book/series is a great series. There is a theme throughout the book, even though it is well concealed. You have to look for the theme to find a theme, even though there are many.
