J. K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Things are not going well in and out of Hogwarts: Lord Voldemort has managed to gain control of the Ministry of Magic, turning it from the already unpleasantly Orwellian organisation of the previous two books into a downright fascist regime. Harry Potter has been named Undesirable Number One and has to live in hiding. Not that he would want to return to Hogwarts, now that his least favourite teacher Snape has been named Headmaster there. The quest to find and destroy the remaining Horcruxes, upon which Voldemort's power depends, is not going too well. Maybe the mysterious three Deathly Hallows could be of help?
And this is how I spent the weekend. Quite necessary, really, in order to defuse the danger of someone spilling the beans about the ending.
