Harry Potter

I read the last half of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows again and I have a renewed sense of admiration for J.K.Rowling. Little twists and details that I never paid attention to the first time around--in my obsession to finish it--were noticeable this time; I revere Rowling's capability of grand schemes that manage to weave and interlock in the most novel ways, and how she manages to combine different themes and genres in her books; she's a wicked storyteller.

I admit that the first time I read the epilogue, I found it sloppily written, perhaps in haste, but now that I have reread it, I realized it's a fitting end for Harry Potter. Obviously as a writer of a remarkable series, as Harry Potter, you would want to end on a fulfilling note, and she does.

I hope to echo Rowling's talent for storytelling and detail in my future writing.
