  • Vabbeh dai...

  • ...Gli harrypottiani non possono dare giudizi. E' come chiedere a Tolomeo di criticare il sistema tolemaico... Ma certo che é l'Unico e il Solo! direbbe.

    Non riesco neanche a commentarlo. la prima volta lo lessi tutto d'un fiato... adesso l'ho riletto in inglese. è atroce! La Row mi fa morire Sirius che è il personaggio migliore di tutta la saga, un vero eroe solare, un uomo dal cuore grandissimo, generoso.
    Mi vengono troppe idee per poterle scrivere tutte. E sono convinta che molte di esse non sarebbero neanche condivisibili! Tipo che... Molly Weasley è una spregevole gallina deficiente, stupida e odiosissima, con una piccola sciocca mente limitata e la presunzione di essere la mejo. La "vostra" Hermy Granger idem. Un'oca mascherata da secchiona. Snape è un rivoltante coglione perfido, sadico, frustrato e pieno di problemi psichici mai risolti, e in più è stato anche il ganzo giovane di Silente. Ha ragione Bella quando nel Principe Mezzosangue lo definisce "Dumbledore's Pet". E sì che a me Bella come personaggio neanche mi garba.
    Dai, datemi i soliti voti negativi, non me ne importa un tubo!

    I've just realized I haven't written a single word about my favourite book in the series!
    This can't be!
    Well, I LOVED this 5th novel. Much more than the third, every one's favourite.
    Why? Because never before in the previous books the difference between good and evil was so crystal clear. People are now forced to decide whether they want to step into action and fight for the right cause or just wait to see what happens.
    The war begins and everyone is called to fight: whole families (like the Weasleys) know that each and one of them is in danger for fighting for what they believe in, but nonetheless they accept what must be done. I felt the pain and the tears of Mrs Weasley as if they were my own, she's just a mother whose children are growing up too early because of this war. Just like other mothers did during other wars.
    This is a dark and sad book, where the characters are constantly proven and challenged, and not always they do what's best (Percy for instance, or Sirius who pays for his attitude toward Kreacher)
    And I did love Neville.
    He's the most outstanding character in both the fifth and seventh novel. He reveals - to himself and to all the others - to be a real Gryffindor; he's just a boy who still needs the love of his parents, but at the same time he's got the courage to be a right man, to face reality and decide which side is his.
    The whole St Mungo's part touched me incredibly, and I have to admit I found myself crying without even realizing it.
    The whole book was such an intense experience for me, something I hadn't expect to feel reading a Harry Potter's book.
    I have been wanting to re-read this book for years, I will probably do it now that the series is complete. I know it will not disappointed me.

  • Great book. I've already read it in Italian, and I re-read it in English... not the most beautiful of the Harry saga, but a good one, although it's a bit too long.
    But Snape's memories worth all the useless pages of these book!! :D

  • My first HP in English! Though I had a few problems with the names of the characters and of the places (in Italian they are often translated), I found it plain and well-written.

I say to you all, once again--in the light of
Lord Voldemort’s return, we are only as strong
as we are united, as weak as we are divided.
Lord Voldemort’s gift for spreading discord and
enmity is very great. We can fight it only by showing
an equally strong bond of friendship and trust.

So spoke Albus Dumbledore at the end of Harry Potter’s fourth year at Hogwarts. But as Harry enters his fifth year at wizard school, it seems those bonds have never been more sorely tested. Lord Voldemort’s rise has opened a rift in the wizarding world between those who believe the truth about his return, and those who prefer to believe it’s all madness and lies--just more trouble from Harry Potter.

Add to this a host of other worries for Harry…
• A Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher with a personality like poisoned honey
• A venomous, disgruntled house-elf
• Ron as keeper of the Gryffindor Quidditch team
• And of course, what every student dreads: end-of-term Ordinary Wizarding Level exams

…and you’d know what Harry faces during the day. But at night it’s even worse, because then he dreams of a single door in a silent corridor. And this door is somehow more terrifying than every other nightmare combined.

In the richest installment yet of J. K. Rowling’s seven-part story, Harry Potter confronts the unreliability of the very government of the magical world, and the impotence of the authorities at Hogwarts.

Despite this (or perhaps because of it) Harry finds depth and strength in his friends, beyond what even he knew; boundless loyalty and unbearable sacrifice.

Though thick runs the plot (as well as the spine), readers will race through these pages, and leave Hogwarts, like Harry, wishing only for the next train back.
