Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling

If you could rewrite one part of the story, what would you change?


After Dumbledore dies, Snape becomes the headmaster. Harry, now seventeen, Ron, and Hermione have no desire to return to Hogwarts. When Bill's wedding is interrupted by Death Eaters, they make their escape. Now living at the old Order of the Phoenix headquarters, Ron, Hermione, and Harry continue their search for Horcruxes. They have to live in the woods, though, when the entrance to their home is discovered after a trip to the Ministry. Ron runs off, leaving Hermione heartbroken. He returns in time to save Harry's life, and destroy another Horcrux. They are captured and sent to Malfoy Manor, where Dobby sets them free, with the cost of his life (R.I.P.). When Voldemort finds the Elder Wand, one of the Deathly Hallows (powerful objects from a fairy tale), Harry might seem doomed. But with a trip to Gringotts, help from Hogwarts friends, and discoveries about Snape, Dumbledore, and himself, all might not be lost. If I could rewrite one part o f the story, it would be that Lupin, Tonks, and Fred died.
