I love this quote

From Goodreads

“The force that played havoc with the cortisol in my blood was the same force that helped my body recover; if I felt better one day and worse the next, it was unchanged. It chose no side. It gave the girl next to me in the hospital pneumonia; it also gave her white blood cells that would resist the infection. And the atoms in those cells, and the nuclei in those atoms, the same bits of carbon that were being spun into new planets in some corner of space without a name. My insignificance had become unspeakably beautiful to me. That unified force was a god too massive, too inhuman, to resist with the atheism in which I had been brought up. I became a zealot without a religion.” ― G. Willow Wilson

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – J.K. Rowling

“There was a genteel tap of the knocker and the musical voice asked, again, ‘Where do vanished objects go?’ ‘Into non-being, which is to say, everything,’ replied Professor McGonagall. ‘Nicely phrased,’ replied the eagle doorknocker, and the door swung open.”

Year seven (the final) at Hogwarts is turning out to be tough for Harry and his friends. Voldemort and his entourage (Death Eaters) are aggressively searching for Harry, have infiltrated just about everywhere else – especially the Ministry, and have committed horrendous crimes using the Dark Arts. Harry, Ron and Hermione have to discover where Voldemort has hidden the Horcruxes (bits of his soul), destroy them, and they have to do it under immense pressure and often heartbreak (It starts with Hedwig!!!). 

The moment I started to really get into the story was when Scrimgeour (Minister for Magic) arrives to tell Ron, Hermione and Harry, what they’ve inherited from Dumbledore:  a Deluminator, an ancient runes text, the silver-winged gold Snitch from Quidditch, and a special Gryffindor sword. The last few chapters were also wonderful! – I always knew about Professor Snape :).  He was always one of my favourite characters – the novels (or movies) would not have been the same without him.

I especially loved learning more about some of the other characters’ Patronuses, and the role they played in this final novel. There’s a stag, doe, hare, badger, phoenix, cat, weasel, and others. And also I loved learning what each wand is made of: Holly and phoenix feather, Hawthorn and unicorn hair, Walnut and dragon heartstring, Elder and thestral tail-hair, etc. (the latter, the elder wand, I don't remember the description from the novel but looked it up after).

I could go on but I have to stop. The only thing to do now is to reread The Philosopher’s Stone and begin the journey again! And join Pottermore ;)

One last note: I borrowed this book and have to return it. When I opened it to begin reading I found a bookmark left by the owner. It’s of Regensburg. I love it when things like this happen! Although...I have no idea what this means, if anything.

Bye Harry Potter. What a pleasure it has been!!!
