Sunday, January 20, 2008

The book begins with Lord Voldemort and his followers plan to ambush Harry Potter when he leaves the protected Dursley home with the Order of the Phoenix for the final time. Voldemort also seeks a new wand to defeat Harry''s. As members of the order escort Harry to a safe house, they are attacked en route by Death Eaters. Harry narrowly escapes, but George Weasley loses an ear, while Hedwig and Mad-Eye Moody are killed.
At the Burrow, Minister for Magic Rufus Scrimgeour arrives to give Harry, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger bequests from Albus Dumbledore''s will. Ron receives a Deluminator, and Hermione is left a children''s book, The Tales of Beedle the Bard. Harry inherits Godric Gryffindor''s Sword and the Snitch he caught in his first-ever Quidditch match, although Scrimgeour withholds the sword. The trio, while puzzled, presume the items will help them in their Horcrux hunt.The book ends nineteen years later, Harry and Ginny Weasley are married and have three children: James, Albus Severus and Lily. Ron has married Hermione and they have two children, Rose and Hugo. The families meet at King''s Cross station, where a nervous Albus is departing for his first year at Hogwarts. Harry''s nineteen-year-old godson, Teddy Lupin (Remus and Tonks''s orphaned son), is found kissing Victoire Weasley (Bill and Fleur''s daughter) in a train compartment. Teddy is a frequent visitor to the Potters, coming to dinner several times a week. Harry sees Draco Malfoy and his unnamed wife with their son, Scorpius; Malfoy acknowledges Harry with a curt nod, then turns away. Neville Longbottom is now the Hogwarts Herbology professor and is still close friends with Harry. Harry comforts Albus, who is worried he will be sorted into Slytherin. He tells his son that one of his two namesakes, Severus Snape, was a Slytherin and the bravest man he had ever met. He adds that the Sorting Hat takes one''s own choice into account. The book concludes: "The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well."
