First Prize
Among the books I have read so far, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is my favourite. It is the seventh book in the Harry Potter series written by the well-known British author J.K. Rowling. It was first published in Great Britain by Bloomsbury in 2007.
This story is based on three children named Harry, Ron and Hermione whose task was to win the battle against evil magic and save the wizarding world. When the whole wizarding world is in danger, Harry realizes that it is up to him to fight face to face with the evil wizard Voldemort. Finally, Harry overcomes a hard path comprised of obstacles, and defeats Voldemort with the help of his two friends Ron and Hermione and they bring about peace in the world.
I admire this book because it teaches us great life lessons such as how to face challenges and to take decisions at the right time. This book also shows us the power of unity and friendship.
