The meaning of all the deaths in HP:
James and Lily: To establish the story line as well as to show orphans of war.
Cedric Diggory: To show Voldemort's mercilessness.
Sirius Black: To show Harry's lack of guidance/parental figures.
Albus Dumbledore: To show the death of a great leader can't stop a war.
Hedwig: To show the end of Harry's childhood.
Mad Eye: To show the death of a soldier.
Dobby: To show even the smallest of creatures can die a Hero's death.
Fred Weasley: To show that some deaths you just can't get over. And that's okay.
Tonks and Remus Lupin: To reestablish orphans of war.
Colin Creevey: To show that the good die young, even when they aren't supposed to.
Severus Snape: To show that you can always change your ways. Always.

The moment when Harry takes Draco's wand
J. K. Rowling: I said to Arthur, my American editor - we had an interesting conversation during the editing of seven - the moment when Harry takes Draco's wand, Arthur said, God, that's the moment when the ownership of the Elder wand is actually transferred? And I said, that's right. He said, shouldn't that be a bit more dramatic? And I said, no, not at all, the reverse. I said to Arthur, I think it really puts the elaborate, grandiose plans of Dumbledore and Voldemort in their place. That actually the history of the wizarding world hinged on two teenage boys wrestling with each other. They weren't even using magic. It became an ugly little corner tussle for the possession of wands. And I really liked that - that very human moment, as opposed to these two wizards who were twitching strings and manipulating and implanting information and husbanding information and guarding information, you know? Ultimately it just came down to that, a little scuffle and fistfight in the corner and pulling a wand away.
Melissa Anelli: It says a lot about the world at large, I think, about conflict in the world, it's these little things -
J. K. Rowing: And the difference one individual can make. Always, the difference one individual can make.

fucked-upseduction asked: So, I was thinking to myself that I wanted to change my URL and my favorite musical is called Next To Normal, so I wanted to change it to that. I then find out that it's already taken. I was going to get really peeved, but then I was looking through your blog, and I really like it. So I followed you.... Okay, have a nice day.
