If any of you have read Lord of the Rings (and since most of you are
intellegent adults, you'd better have) (and if you haven't, I will
be spoiling a bit of it for you right now, so run away if you're
afraid of spoilers) than you may have noticed a slight similarity
between Gollum and Wormtail. Noticable differences of course, but
lets get down to business.
At some point near the end of The Lord of the Rings, Frodo is at the
cracks of doom, the only place where the Ring can be destroyed, but
has become too corrupted by the ring to be able to destroy it. And
then Gollum comes in, bites the ring off of Frodo's hand, and then
falls into the Volcano to his doom.
I loved this ending when I read it, because there's something...
interesting about it. A thoroughly dispicable character saves the
day by being very dispicable. This is where Peter "Wormtail"
Perrigrew comes in.
Perrigrew's life was saved by Harry, (much like Gollum was by Bilbo,
come to think of it) and Dumbledore, at some point, pointed out that
the life bond between Wormtail and Harry is very strong. Any idiot
will be able to tell that SOMETHING willl come of this, unless
Rowling has decided to leave alot of bits in her story which never
gets resolved.
Except Perrigrew will probably not do a truly selfless act. Its not
in his nature. But he will do something, which I predict to be a
very selfish act. Imagine if Wormtail, when Voldemort was in his
most powerful state, and noone else can save the day, does something
stupid to save the world? I just love everything about the idea for
some odd reason.
(While we're at it, I think that the Wizard World should recontinue
contact with the Muggles. I'm not saying it'll happen in a book, but
it should.)
