Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is book seven in its series. It features the beloves character, Harry Potter, and details his quest for the Horcruxes. The finale of its series, this book does not disappoint. It contains intense battles and shocking surprises, eliminating predictability and making readers hungry to turn the pages. This final book is not the typical journeys of past stories but rather details Harry's final development of childhood into adulthood. As the story unfolds, Harry must constantly decide between "what is easy" and "what is right." This topic offers students an opportunity to make a text-to-self connection and contemplate this controversy in their own lives. Since not everyone enjoys or approves of Harry Potter, I would use this book as a part of literature circles for students who seemed interested.
The self-to-text connection is a great thought! This is a great book to teach students about making decisions for themselves as they transition from elementary school to middle or junior high school.
