review 1: John Granger unlocks some of the more hidden, deeper meanings in The Deathly Hallows as well as the whole popular Harry Potter series. Reading this book gave me a greater awareness of J.K. Rowling's remarkable achievement in writing these books. The arguments he makes for his theories about these books are backed up by a rich understanding of literature, knowledge about Alchemy and traditional Biblical symbolism. After reading Granger's book I have a whole new appreciation for the Harry Potter series.
review 2: If reading through the Harry Potter series didn't alert you to the genius that is J.K. Rowling, this book will certainly set off the alarms. If you already knew the books were brilliant, this book will open your eyes further and tell you how much gen
... moreius you missed. It's evident after reading the Harry Potter series that Ms. Rowling had her stories planned from the beginning, throwing in tantalizing hints about future story lines and bringing everything to a close by the end of the Deathly Hallows. However, after reading this book, I learned that I hadn't even scratched the surface of how much detail, hinting and planning are in the Harry Potter series. Now, like many other scholars, Mr. Granger may have found patterns that Ms. Rowling wasn't even aware of herself, but his analysis of the series is phenomenal. Whether you read this book as a scholar or simply as a Harry Potter fanatic, you will be amazed at the secrets you missed and will find yourself ready to re-read the entire series with renewed enthusiasm. less
