This book picks up with the death of Dumbledore and Harry, Ron and Hermione receiving an inheritance from him. Ron receives his deluminator, Hermione his original copy of The Tales of Beetle the Bard in runes, and Harry the golden snitch he caught at his first Quidditch match as well as the sword of Gryffindor. Dumbledore left Harry with the task of finding the Horcruxes and destroying them. He has a fake one that is signed R.A.B. with a note that he replaced the real one with this fake one, but who is R.A.B.? And where are the Horcruxes?
After Fleur and Bill's wedding, the three set off for 12 Grimmauld Place and find out that R.A.B. was Sirius Black's brother Regulus and that he had taken the locket but Mundungus Fletcher stole it along with some other items of value. When they talk to Mundungus they find out that Dolores Umbridge has taken the locket in exchange for not turning Fletcher in. So they break into the Ministry of Magic using polyjuice potion to disguise themselves as Ministry workers. They take the locket from Umbridge by force and barely escape the Ministry without getting caught.
Thus begins what Potter fans call Harry Potter and the Very Long Camping Trip. Wearing the necklace seems the best way to protect it, but wearing it makes the wearer the most miserable self they can be. Ron is the most unhappy with everyone and it gets worse when he wears the locket. They don't know how to destroy the locket but suspect that the sword of Gryffindor will do it. But where is the sword? In a fit of rage, Ron leaves them alone and goes back home they believe.
They decide to go to Godrick's Hollow because that is where Harry's parents are buried and where Dumbledore spent time as a young man. There is an old woman there whom Rita Skeeter got to talk about Dumbledore's youthful indiscretions in her book about the Dumbledore no one supposedly knew. While there the woman turns out to be Nagini in disguise and tries to kill Harry. Hermione casts a spell that backfires across the room and breaks Harry's wand.
Harry is having nightmares about Voldemort doing horrible things to Olivader and then to Gregorivitch, both wandmakers, in order to find a wand that he can use against Harry. When Harry finds out about the Deathly Hollows being the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Cloak of Invisibility he realizes that he holds the cloak and wants to go after the Deathly Hollows, but Hermione believes they need to go after the Horcruxes.
Which way will Harry Potter go and will Ron find his way back to them? This book is one of the best of the bunch in the series. Even the camping trip which can be a little boring doesn's slow it down. Not everyone makes it out alive in this book as a great battle commences that kills a lot of people off. But others will die before then and you will mourn them all. Rowling really throws her all into the last half of this book to make it the ending we all want to see. I give it five out of five stars.
