Estamos cerca de la publicación del último libro de Harry Potter, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, y este libro, The End of Harry Potter? especula sobre cual será su final. Aunque como dice Pedro, realmente nos va contando todos los detalles, técnicas y historias que nos ha contado Rowling a lo largo de estas 6 novelas
A pesar del título, The End of Harry Potter? va casi todo sobre otra cosa. Se habla de los nombres, de las técnicas narrativas usadas por Rowling, de los hechizos, de los elementos que aparecen y revelan su verdadera importancia varios libros después, del los detalles todavía por explicar del pasado de los personajes, de los fallos, del plan de Voldemort, de las lecturas políticas (ese ministerio de la Magia más corrupto que otra cosa), de las relaciones con muggles, de cosas que definitivamente pasarán (por ejemplo, se sabe cuál es la última palabra del último libro) o de la recepción crítica a la serie.
De la contraportada
The publication of the seventh and final Harry Potter novel is probably the most eagerly anticipated event in the history of publishing. Even the tiniest hints given by J.K Rowling as to what may happen to Harry and his friends have benn major news.
In The End of Harry Potter?, David Langford – Potter fan and award-winning writer – delves into the many mysteries which remain unsolved. Is Albus Dumbledore really dead? Whose side is Severus Snape really on? Does Harry bear a part of the Dark Lord’s soul in his scar, and is this why he understands Parseltongue?
J.K. Rowling is the only person who knows the answers to these questions. But in this highly entertaining book, Langford uses his deep knowledge to explore these and other mysteries, and to present a selection of possible outcomes.
Only the publication of the final volume will lay these questions to rest, but in the meantime, keen Potter fans will find this thought-provoking book the perfect way of refreshing their memories, in readiness for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
