Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

The series finale is icing on the cake. Getting to watch the trio on their hunt around England and reading the portrayal of the wizarding world at war make it one of the most inventive of the books. Plus, JK Rowling treats the climax with all the respect a protagonist like Harry deserves.

Age range: 13+
The violence and emotional toll of this book is higher than any of the others, but still appropriate for young readers.
