The sixth installment of the Harry Potter Series was better than I remembered! It is such a challenge to review these books without spoilers in case the reader has yet to experience this fantastic story-telling.
This one shows us a little more of the pieces that make up Lord Voldemort, the Dark Lord of the wizarding world and what is going to need to be done to defeat him. Alongside this fascinating and even tragic storyline, we see the main characters growing, maturing (or not in some cases) and learning what it takes to do what needs to be done.
Rowling is a master story teller in the secular realm. Even knowing these stories and how the book would end, I was hooked on every page, looking at every detail to piece together the intricacies of this fantasy world. Without knowing it, she gives a nod to THE Master Storyteller as she sets up the final battle of good vs evil.
As with all books of this nature, parental advisory is warned in reading this book with children. As the characters age so does their language and situations. They are minimal, thankfully, with little to note. If you're reading aloud you can simply skip the words and still keep the message and story of the book.
I absolutely love this book from a secular standpoint and recommend it for enjoyment or study.
5 stars!
