Harry is waiting in Privet Drive. The Order of the Phoenix is coming to escort him safely away without Voldemort and his supporters knowing - if they can. But what will Harry do then? How can he fulfill the momentous and seemingly impossible task that Professor Dumbledore has left him?

The last book already and I had such a great time with all of them. I love the ending of the Harry Potter series and I think it shows important lessons that can be learned. Still it is sad that good people have to die sometimes to overcome the bad.
In the last book all the known characters alive and dead come back for the grand finale. While trying to fulfill the assignment Dumbledore gave him Harry, Hermione and Ron are traveling trough a country that is living in fear because of the new reign. Not only wizards and witches are in dangers but Muggles notice a lot of bad things happening too. It is easy to feel the tension building up in the story and I was pulled in and did not want to let go. The moment you feel that they survived one thing and want to take a breath the next situation is there and even more tense. If I had a sixth star in my rating system this book would get it.
