There had been some discussion in weeks past regarding a certain
scene from GoF where Ron and Harry are dueling with fake wands. One
was a parrot (Ron) and the other was a fish (Harry). The parrot
decapitates the fish.
Some had suggested that this was foreshadowing of a future event
between Ron and Harry...there was a lot of discussion about events
pointing to Harry being immortal or "something."
I am currently rereading GoF (it's been out on loan), and I came
across another small section which seems to run parallel to the idea
of Ron doing *something* to Harry.
On page 407, Harry and Ron take a few minutes to play a game of
chess. Hermione is trying to convince Harry that he should be
working on the second task...but Ron and Harry just play chess.
"...she sighed, and she sat down to watch their chess match, which
culminated in an exciting checkmate of Ron's, involving a couple of
recklessly brave pawns and a very violent bishop."
I see a parallel here between the parrot/fish duel. Are HRH
the "recklessly brave pawns"? Is Voldemort the "violent bishop."
And Ron is the one to checkmate Harry...does this forebode something
else?
Just some more food for thought...
