Dim the lights.
Cue the spooky organ music.
Self-fulfilling prophecy...
Harry being with is parents....
Who says Harry's desire can't come true?
Ron can certainly achieve his desires in his life.
But Harry can also achieve his desire. True his parent can't come back
and join him, but he can go join them. (Sudden loud rushing chord of
organ music that slowly fades)
What if, in the end, we see the Potter ghost family reunited again in
death. (Sudden loud rushing chord of organ music that slowly fades)
Just a thought.
