My theory is that the Original Spirit (call it God, call it Tao, call
it what you like) is making a great call for his children to return
to him. We are all muggles. The Potter of the universe has been
sending owls to us for millennia but we've hammered all the entrances
to our heart shut.
Valky(me):
In another post there was a question about the path of liberation
written in code and sold to us as fiction. The writer asked; Why?
To me, and pardon if I am mistaken, it sounded cynical. As though the
writer had interpreted thes words to mean that the Hp books were a
sugar coating on a bitter pill.
Again, pardon please, if I took that the wrong way, whomever asked
that question.
At first I gave a short answer. But thinking about it and realising
the possible cynicism implied I think some of my own opinion needs to
be added to this thread as clarification.
I am a strong believer that liberation is the greatest story ever
known to man.
As a child I dreamed of my own story with the theme of liberation,
compassion and sacrifice by someone whose greatest strength is the
power of her heart.
I never wrote it.
I saw it, though. I even wrote the first chapter or I think two
chapters. I can't remember. I lost the work years ago.
My point is that the liberation story and JK's Harry Potter story are
both in their own right uniquely brilliant. The inspiration of
liberty stirs us, and it has stirred JK Rowling. But that takes
nothing from her genius as the author of HP. I was stirred by the
spirit myself and didn't write the book.
If any skepticism of this theory stems from the thought that it takes
glory away from JK for her magnificent works, then I hope that it is
hereby replaced with this understanding.
All art is inspired, and it is genuis that brings it into reality in
such a glorius way as an epic series of literature.
In a little aside I was bouncing around a little theory regarding
the name Bellatrix Lestrange.
Bellatrix is a close likeness of the french term 'Belles Lettres'
which is Art that is beautiful but that is all. It has no deep
measure of significance.
The name Bellatrix Letrange leads me to believe that Jk alludes to
meaning here. Relevant to herself and her work. Bella is a character
with the shallow attributes that JK herself aspires to be above.
I am thinking perhaps JK hopes to gently show her readers that she is
not Bellatrix. And her art is not meaningless.
Its a shaky limb for me to go out on the reference is thin. But i
will post because I think there may be a reason for the likeness.
Hans:
> Recently there was a post from someone who said that she loved
Harry as much as any living human being of flesh and bone. Well I'm
sure she's not the only one. There are probably many millions. Why?
Because Harry and his boundless compassion is the archetype of the
selfless, self-sacrificing liberator who has appeared in the flesh
repeatedly in world history. Look at people like Prince Gautama,
Mani, Apollonius of Thyana, Krishna, Moses, Jesus of Nazareth. These
are the great Jupiter leaders who form armies to fight Voldemort and
return to the Father of Lights. The Gnostics ("The Knowers") called
such a group "The Thirteenth Aeon". I'm sure JK Rowling is making a
veiled reference to this in the term "platform 9 and 3 quarters".

I too love Harry as though he were real. I guess I am not embarrased
to say it.
And I agree it is his compassion and selflessness that makes us fall
in love with him. There is hardly a way to avoid it. When such a
profound expression of love exists in any form we are instantly
smitten. Well some of us anyway. :D

I am very glad that JK has given us Hermione. I believe that through
her we reach Harry in a way. Probably why it is the ship that sails
most high on the water. Hermione is a little more than JK, she is our
hands to touch Harry Potter with and our voice to speak to him.
In OoP when she first sees him she runs over and smothers him in a
warm hug.
That's precisely what we did when the book hit the shelves, is it not.
