[HPFGU-Movie] OOP: Veiled Arch

[Nina C Davis]

This is my problem with the death too.  Any way you look at it -- and
I've seen some amazing lit analyses -- it wasn't well executed (no pun
intended).  I assumed it was his falling through the arch that killed
him, but one really did have to assume it, because no one explained to
Harry (or us) why he couldn't come back from it.  Since time itself is
one of the mysteries "stored" in the dept., however, death being kept
there as a mystery would make sense, and there is literary and, I
believe, biblical allusion to the concept of the veil (and the shroud). 
I have rereading to do with this book, definite rereading.  As for his
coming back in a corporal sense, never say never, but JKR has said he is
most definitely dead.  She's also said that the sad in death make ghosts,
so there's nothing to say that he may not reappear that way, even though
Nick was discouraging the idea.

Part of me hopes Cuaron is around to direct the movie of this book.  The
imagery arguably has the most potential of any of the books so far.
