Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows


So as promised, more on Deathly Hallows. However I feel a little Harry Pottered-out. So instead of a detailed post (which would be long) I have made a list of my Five Favorite Things about this book...
1. Severus Snape's back story. Yes he's ultimately on Harry's side but it's so much more complex than good and evil. The biggest surprise, Snape and Lilly BFF's! Never saw that coming.
2. The Deathly Hallows. New mythology at this late stage of the game? Yes!
3. Neville Longbottom, he could have been the chosen one. In this book he proves he was equal to the task.
4. Harry's use of the Hallows and Horcruxes for the greater good and not his own purposes.
5. Voldemort's stupidity. He doesn't trust, he has a huge superiority complex, and he's assumptive. I love that part of his undoing was thinking only he knew of the Room of Requirement. Where did he think all that crap came from?
