Harry Potter and The Deathly Hollows Blog Part 3 (Chapters 5-7)

In chapters 5-7, Harry arrives at the home of Tonk's parents, and Hagrid and himself are healed of the wounds from the chase. Harry promises to find out what had happened to their daughter Tonks and they all travel to the Weasley's home, where they find a very nervous Mrs. Weasley. Then Lupin arrives with George who had his ear blasted off and Lupin questions Harry about his true identity. Lupin warns Harry not to use the disarming spell because it has become a signature move of his and that's why everyone knew he was the real Harry. Everyone else arrives and they talk about how Fletcher ditched Moody and left him to die. Harry has another Voldemort vision and Hermoine tells him to stop with the mental links. Harry tries to put away Moody's death by finding the Horcruxes, and he tries to talk with Hermoine and Ron about it but Mrs. Weasley keeps them busy with chores for Bill and Fleurs wedding so that they cannot get chance to talk. Finally they get a chance to talk and Ron and Hermoine surprise Harry on their plans. Hermoine bewitched her parents into changing their names, moving to Australia and forgetting they had a daughter, while Ron gives a ghoul his pajamas and gives it red hair so that everyone will think that it is Ron who is sick. Hermoine reveals that she had stolen books on the Horcruxes and that Voldemort wont try to assemble the Horcruxes or he will suffer great pain, and later Harry feels really guilty about all the trouble everyone is going through just for him. Then Harry has a dream about Gregorvitch, and he realizes he can use magic now that he is 17, and his party is interrupted by Scrimgeour and he talks about Dumbledores will. Harry is given a snitch and the sword(but Scrimgeour says it wasn't Dumbledore's to give) and Hermoine gets a book, and Ron gets a Deluminator. Then Harry opens the snitch and it gives him a hint. I love these chapters, they were so mysterious and awesome. Also I think Harry will get the sword another way somehow.

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hollows Blog part 2 (chapters 2-4(Last blog was only chapter one))

In this chapter, Harry starts out by going to clean up a cut caused by a mirror that was given to him by Sirius. He returns to his room to organize the things that he is going to keep and things that he won't (things from Hogwarts from when he was younger). Then he picks up a newspaper and reads about the amazing life of Dumbledore and he starts to regret the fact that he did not ask Dumbledore so many things. After reading that he reads an article about the life and lies of Dumbledore written by Rita Skeeter and he becomes sick of the article so he puts it down. Then he looks into the shard of the mirror and sees a glimmering blue light which reminded him of Dumbledore, but he thought he was just imagining it. Then he goes downstairs to see that Mr. Dursley had changed his mind and didn't believe Harry. Then Harry explains that once he turns 17, the charm will go out and then the Death Eaters will come and torture the Dursleys. At the moment Dudley speaks up and says that he believes Harry and is going (which meant the other Dursleys had to go too). Before they leave, Dudley comes and tells Harry what he really thinks about him, and Harry realizes that Dudley was greatful that he was saved and is touched by Dudley. Then Harry meets his traveling team, but they changed the plan because Pius had betrayed them. Now their plan is 6 different Potters and 6 different destinations. The real Harry went with Hagrid. Once they left they immediately came in contact with several death eaters. They start to fling out killing curses at the team and kill Hedwig. Voldemort knowing the real Harry charged at him to kill him personally. Hagrid jumps off onto a death eater and Harry saves himself with another spell that he doesn't know at the last second. Then he crashes into the ground and breaks the bike. I think in the next chapter the casualties and injuries of the fligth will be revealed and everyone will discuss stuff. I liked these chapters because they were action packed and very thrilling, but I kind of thought chapter 2 was kind of useless and boring. That concludes the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows blog part 2.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Blog 1 (Ch 1-2)

In the first two chapters of the book, Snape and Voldemort and the rest of his followers have a meeting. Snape reveals that Harry Potter is going to move from his safe place to another location on a day, but Yaxely, another member, disagrees. Voldemort takes Snape's side though and Yaxely desperately tries to impress Voldemort. Then the Malfoys come out and Voldemort senses their uncomfort around him and teases them about it. Then Wormtail is sent to quiet a prisoner, and then they eventually kill the prisoner who is hanging above the table, who was an Hogwarts teacher. I have not read this book yet but I'm pretty sure I know what's going to happen next though. I think Snape will be right and Yaxely will be shamed. Then they will attack Harry while he is being transported and Harry will have a close call but be saved by some mystical force that he never knew he had or something along the lines of that. But something bad will happen too. Someone will get hurt somehow and not be able to go on any further and not be in the final battle. I really don't think Yaxely is right because he doesn't seem like te type who would know more than Snape, even though it's only been 2 chapters into the book. I didn't really like these chapters because there wasn't really enough action in it. The Harry Potter Books nowadays focus mainly on the twists and turns of how Harry basically has a relation to every single person in the book and it gets kind of tiring. But the book will get better i think. So that concludes the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Blog 1 (Ch 1-2).
