Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part Two

With the last installment of the Harry Potter Movies it signifies the end of a worldwide phenomenon. A phenomenon that centered on an orphaned boy finally came to a conclusion that revolved around death. The whole series is centered on dealing with the loss of his parents. However, in the conclusion everyone Harry knows and loves is enmeshed in death, dying, and possibly facing their own death. However, none have come as close as Harry has when has to fake his own death towards the end of the movie. The series final depicted a broad range of emotions displayed through the characters.

Due to the recent release of the new Harry Potter Movie author J.K. Rowling has been doing some publicity. In an article by MSNBC.Com the author, J.K. Rowling, of the Harry Potter Series explained that on every page of her books it has to do with her mother, who died shortly after she graduated from college. J.K. Rowling also allows for us to know that without her mother’s death the series would not have been able to be what it is and actually become the Harry Potter Series that it is. I feel that this information is a touching fit to the last installment of the series.

Life Time Network over the weekend released a movie that is an unauthorized biography of J.K Rowling. The Life Time movie features loss, grief, and mourning in depicting struggling with her mother’s illness and eventually taking her mother’s life. The movie also illustrated that the loss of J.K. Rowling’s mother is felt even years later when she has become a success and wishes her mother were there to see her success.

Let’s hope J.K Rowling writes more on Harry’s life with more adventures because even though they revolve around death they are really phenomenal stories.

  1. It is hard for me to believe that the death of a loved one could provide
    inspiration to do something of great worth. If it were me I think I would have
    been grief stricken and just wouldn't want to do anything for a few months. I'm
    glad there are people in the world who can turn tragedy into value for others.
