Alymuhammad Irani 15, student <img title="Alymuhammad Irani" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2015/jul/Alymuhammad-Irani.jpg" alt="Alymuhammad Irani" /> Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows is mindboggling. Mystery and suspense have lingered with the entire series, from the start, but this one takes it to another level. It&rsquo;s tough to guess what&rsquo;s next. Readers are kept on their toes with one revelation after another, and just when one may think there cannot be another twist, he/she is proven wrong!
Prachi Kelkar 26, media planner <img title="Prachi Kelkar" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2015/jul/31Prachi-Kelkar.jpg" alt="Prachi Kelkar" /> Each book is a masterpiece. But if I had to pick one, it would be The Deathly Hallows. It ties all the loose ends, weaving a magical tale while teaching incredible lessons. Plus, it has an amazing epilogue that is bittersweet &mdash; happy because of the touching end and sad because it is over! Such an intricate, insightful piece of literature is rare to come by.
Shruti Shah 21, student <img title="Shruti Shah" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2015/jul/31Shruti-Shah.jpg" alt="Shruti Shah" /> Although I cannot choose a favourite Harry Potter book, Half-Blood Prince is most special. It gratifies the frustration experienced during reading the previous part, as we start believing Harry, and also introduces a darker tone to the series. The character development is commendable and while the plot is intricately structured; two questions haunt us: What is Voldemort up to? More insistently, whose side is Snape on? Until today, even in marathon rereads, after reading one title, I want to grab the next, except when it&rsquo;s this one.
Umang Mohnot 20, jr content associate <img title="Umang Mohnot" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2015/jul/31Umang-Mohnot.jpg" alt="Umang Mohnot" /> After having read the books and watched all films many times, The Order Of The Phoenix is my pick. It reflects a turning point with changes in many characters, especially Harry&rsquo;s. He turns into a leader and he goes all out to protect Sirius, on a hunch, which is admirable. I liked the idea and drama of the student rebel organisation in Dumbledore&rsquo;s Army. This book elevated the plot from the first four and set the tone for the final two.
