The final battle Harry Vs .Voldemort.....?

Question

how do you feel about the final fight between harry and voldemort in "Deathy Hallows"? do you think it was interesting and the perfect way to end it, or do you think it was weak?

Answer 1

Anti-climactic... The story revolved more on the social drama than the fight.

I was disappointed

Answer 2

I think it was ausome, the best part of the book by far. It really showed the difference between Harry and Voldemort, and how Harry has grown up in the three years since he and Voldemort faced each other in the graveyard. It was exactly as it should have been, Harry didn't win by anger or luck or fear...he did it by cunning (a fitting way for one of Dumbledore's students).

Answer 4

It was shorter than I thought it would be, but I liked how she did it. It seemed just right. It didn't need to go on and on. Plus, there was the whole part with the war at Hogwarts (which I LOVED!), then meeting V. in the forest and giving himself up for dead, then Neville killing the snake, and finally H. and V. dueling in the Great Hall. So, overall, it was a fair bit I guess.

You know what I didn't buy was when V. kept saying "In one hour, meet me at...", "In 30 minutes, I will vanquish you all if such and such doesn't happen". It just seems ridiculous to me that the ultimate bad guy would do that. I mean, he's the ultimate bad guy! He thinks he's got this all sewed up. Why would he give Harry an hour to get his **** together and possibly figure out how to defeat him?

But, aside from that little issue, still loved it!

Answer 5

I still do not understand the whole wand thing. I know at the end of 6 Malfoy disarmed Dumbledore...but Snape killed him....presumably with his own wand. So what happened to Dumbledore's wand in the ensuing uproar? If Malfoy had it then it is Harry's....If it was in the coffin, then it is Voldemorts...I don't get it and my son and friends have not satisfied my questions either....So, I'm going with weak!

But, I will say that, I am still happy with the end no matter how it came about!

Answer 6

It was perfect for what it was meant to show, and I think Rowling has been building to that point ever since book one. And that is quite simply that Voldemort desired power but failed to take the time to fully understand things that might lead to his downfall if he viewed them as worthless or unimportant.

Look in book one when Harry asks about why Quirrell couldn't touch him. Dumbledore tells him Voldemort does not understand love and the magic that goes along with it. Quirrell, being full of the emotions hatred, greed, and ambition, and allowing his dark master to share his soul, was unable to touch Harry because of this. In fact Voldemort admits in book four that Lily's sacrifice was old magic and that he should have remembered such. The memory of Riddle in book two also shows that Voldemort had learned of this at school, but didn't truely understand it. Or, apparently, view it as important until after his spell rebounded.

Book four has Voldemort using Harry's blood to regain a body. But as we learned in book seven, this was an immense mistake because it meant that as long as he lived Harry couldn't die. And after he destroyed his own unintentional horcrux within Harry, the same could not be said of him. He also strengthened Harry's wand for use against himself, though in Voldemort's defense no one knew this was possible (Dumbledore admits he has to guess about it but most of his guesses have proved correct in the past).

Book five finds Voldemort seeking to learn the full prophecy, which is more proff of his ignorance costing him. When Snape told him the part of the prophecy he never bothered to go to any lengths to learn the prophecy in full before acting. He merely acted on it. And that cost him his body. Also, Harry's mother's love for him, her sacrifice for him, and his ability to love and feel compashion meant he could not bear to keep possesinng Harry's body when he tried using him against Dumbledore.

Book seven really shows Voldemort's ignorance and his constant dismisal of those people and things he views as unimportant. He borrowed Keacher to test his defenses for the locket, ignoring the fact that house-elves have their own magic and thus if (and indeed when) Regulus chose to betray him he'd know how to do so. Snape's feelings toward Lily were viewed by Voldemort not as love but merely as Snape wishing to posses and have his way with her. He ignored the fact that the Elder wand didn't work right for him even after Harry told him why.

Voldemort believed he knew everything he needed for the power he desired. It was his ignorance that was always his downfall. And that was what made the battle so perfect. Harry tries to teach him his mistakes and instead of learning anything Voldemort merely thinks he can over power and defeat Harry. He basically tells Harry all that he tried teaching him was unimportant.

Answer 7

I think it was great that it took place at Hogwarts!!! The whole part where Harry died but yet didn't die was sooo amazing!! I didn't think it was weak at all. However, I was a bit disappointed with the epilogue. I guess that's just because I am a dedicated fan who wants to know every little detail of the rest of the characters' lives!!

Answer 8

I really liked it. Neat resolution of Harry as Horcrux, mixed with the biblical allegory- Harry willingly sacrificing himself and extending protection to all the good people at Hogwarts, as a Christ figure. I also liked seeing Voldemort exposed as the vicious bully- not a mastermind.

Answer 9

i think it was really interesting. i didn't expect her to twist it like that, making it so Harry had to die in order to kill Lord Voldemort. And it was kinda neat but kinda almost lame at the same time how it wasn't really just harry who ended up killing him. i mean it kinda took away meaning from the whole "one must kill the other" think from the prophecy in book 5.

i'm just sad to see the story end though. this last book was by far the best and my absolute favorite in the series.

Answer 10

~Personally I loved the irony that Harry never had to kill Voldemort! He never had to become a killer. I also love that he defeated him with "Expilliarnus" which the Death Eaters all thought of as his "trade mark." Im glad everyone got to hear what Harry had to say to him too, and that he called him Tom Riddle. Go Harry!!!

Answer 11

Harry became the archetype of the classic epic hero, who conquers death, by embracing it. This is profound and sublime and frankly nothing less would do.

By the time the two of them dueled Harry's victory was certain, because he was then immune to Riddle's worst magic by his willingness to sacrifice himself, AND because he had the unbeatable wand.

I think the real climax was Harry's potential death, and the final duel was just a sort of resolution to it all - which was fitting.
