A Dark And Uncertain Harry

You won’t be able to buy the new Harry Potter book until tomorrow at midnight, but you can read the first professional review now. (Don’t worry – the review contains no spoilers.) “While Ms. Rowling’s astonishingly limber voice still moves effortlessly between Ron’s adolescent sarcasm and Harry’s growing solemnity, from youthful exuberance to more philosophical gravity, ‘Deathly Hallows’ is, for the most part, a somber book that marks Harry’s final initiation into the complexities and sadnesses of adulthood… No wonder then that Harry often seems overwhelmed with disillusionment and doubt in the final installment of this seven-volume bildungsroman.”
