What do you guys think about wizard suicide?
JKR gives us a Wizarding World which is plagued with the same
problems as the Muggle World, only in different forms. Political
corruption, racism, the whole deal.
But I don't remember any references to suicide at all. Do you think
suicide might be a theme or at least occurrence later in the books?
We're told they're getting darker, and JKR gives the Wizarding World
the same problems as the Muggle one. I don't see why suicide
*wouldn't* be an issue. Or if not an issue, at least an occurrence.
Not only that, how do wizards kill themselves, assuming they wanted
to?
We're given a lot of canon that "normal" =) accidents don't harm
wizards as much- falls, car accidents, ect. So how would a wizard do
it? Do you point your wand at yourself and say the Killing Curse?
Kinda weird if you ask me.
Just my morbid curiosity showing itself, that's all.
Does anyone else ever wonder about weird stuff like this?
