DH was the last thing they ever read...

Anne Squires:

I admit that I don't know why; but, the story of the violent home
invasion and subsequent murder of three members the Petit family in
Conneticut has really affected me.  In a day and age in which one
hears of truly horrendous and inhuman acts on a nearly  daily basis
this story, for some reason, has really stood out for me.  It made me
cry; it sickened me; and it especially made me afraid.  It literally
gave me nightmares for several nights.  As a single woman who lives
alone this story made me afraid in my own home and I have never felt
that way before.

As you may know, the home invasion occurred at 3:00 am on July 23rd. 
Today I read an article that mentioned that the two young girls spent
the evening of the 22nd reading Deathly Hallows.  Well, that
information struck me even more because I also spent the evening of
the 22nd rereading parts of DH.  Just think,  the very last thing
these girls read in their lives was Harry Potter.  Probably that's
what was on their minds as they went to sleep that night.  Maybe
that's what they were dreaming of when they were suddenly awakened to
a living nightmare.

I think it is worth noting that there is evil in the world that rivals
anything the DEs could ever get up to.
