J.K.Rowling, who is a famous writer in the world, is famous with the novel--Harry Potter.It is a series novel that attract numbers of people in the world. As an author, J.K.Rowling has written fiction since she was a child. Born in 1965, she gres up in Chepstow and wrote her first "book" at the age of six--a story about a ribbit called Rabbit. She studied French and Classical at Exeter University, then moved to Londonto work at Amnesty International, and then to Portugal to teach Engliash as a foteign language, before settling in Edinburg. The idea for Harry Potter occured to hei on the train from Manchester to London, where she says Harry Potter "just strolled into my head fully formed"，and by the time she had arrived at King's Cross, many of the characters had taken shape. During the next five years she outlined the plots for each book and began writing the first in the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stoe, which was first published by Bloomsbury in 1997. The other Harry Potter titles: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, followed J.K.Rowling has also written two companion books, Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, in aid of Comic Relief.
In the last book--Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, it is the final fighting between Harry and Voldemort. Because of the thing that Voldemort don't understand and was not spare a glance for it, he finally died. Even though it was not his mistakes not to get love, he chose to destroyed by himself. Yes, love is the most important thing. Only it can exceed magic. In Rowling's books, we can see it everywhere. Because of love, Harry survived when he was one years old; because of love, many people sacrifice their lives to rescue their families and friends, such as Lupin said about his son,"I'm sorry too. Sorry I will never know him... but he will know why I died and I hope he will understand. I was trying to make a world in which he could live a happier life." The novel shows us about the seven years since Harry knew he was a wizard, and he began fighting against the strongest black wizard in the history with love.
In the novel, there are many characters lefting deep impression on me, such as the clever Hermione, unfortunate Remus Lupin, handsome Sirus Black and so on. Form them, I want to introduce three--Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and Severus Snape.
First, Dumbledore, who is thought the greatest wizard in the world, has much merit. From some respects, he is braver than other people. I respect him not only because of his greatness, wisdom, experience, achievement and humanity, but also because he has a comprehesive mind. He knows everything. He is able to accept, understand even including his mistakes and weakness. He is great because he sees everything brightly and leisurely went to death. He leads Harry to go to the front. Old as he is, he also don't lose the sense and became the only person that Voldemort is afraid of. But none of men are all-powerful, he is not an exception either. The difference is he accept them, understand to correct them, never free from his fault, and even after dying, he still in struggle for justice--like those people, use their lives as bedding of another person on the way of this justice.
Then, Harry Potter, as the dramatis personas in the novel, I think he is the most perfect one. As other person, he has much weakness. As young, he often gets impetuous, sometimes feel confused, and he also feels afraid of someting. He grows up bit by bit,and becomes stronger and stronger, and finally becomes the hero in people's mind. On the other hand, he is only a child, who wants to have a peaceful life, to have an intact family that he can live with his father and mother, and get love from them. For that reason, when he knew the story about the Deathly Hallows, he wanted to find them, especially the Resurrection Stone,but later he realized that it is bad to own them and may course big problems, so he gave up and put them in somewhere that nobody can get them. He is so brave that he came to terms with death for others' happiness. In some places, his behave really stands for Gryffindor's spirit.Even when he was fear, he was also brave to go on. So maybe he is the brvest person in the novel.
The orther role, Severus Snape, the Slytherin who loved a Gryfindor. His image changes in my heart after I read the Deathly Hallows. Although before the actual state of affairs has been clear, I have already guessed the Snape was not Voldemort's servant. I admire him after I finished reading the last book. Before that I hated him for his prejudice against Harry, and his haughtiness. But when I read the last book, I suddenly find that Severus is as Harry told his son--Ablus,"He was probably the bravest man I ever knew." He loves Lily Evans almost all his life. He met her when they was only nine years old. They went to Hougwarts together. He came close to her, made friends with her and loved her at the rest of his life. They chose different ways and Lily got married to James Potter who Severus hatred very much, but he still put the love in his heart.Thanks to his love for Lily, he bears everything, dumbly protected her son for seven years. Finally, he broke his life down. His love for Lily hid so well that I knew nothing of it until I saw the part in which Harry read the memories of his. His love is so great that he can sacrifice himself to protect Harry even if he hates him as he does to James. As a reader said that you can't do the evaluation about Severus Snape before you have read the Deathly Hallows.
After reading all the novel, I find it has a consummate ending--they finally have a peaceful life, such as after the fighting, Harry said"I've had enough trouble for a life time." Yes, after experiencing all of that. Peace is happiness. Story as it is, I want to believe it is true in my mind. Those men, women and other things are real. Lke Dumbledore told Harry,"Of course it is happening inside your head, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?"
In the novel, I learn that love, guardianship, friendship and family are the actual meaning for life. They are far more important than power, money, longevity and anything else. I am moving by the characters in the novel and the story itself.
