I know I am going to get slaughtered for saying this (and I have
enjoyed the discussion as much as anyone) but are we all forgetting
that when push comes to shove, these are children's books - wonderful
for adults to read and speculate about, but nevertheless originally
written for children. Thinking about the sub-teen Potter obsessives
in my own family and their friends, I wonder how many of them are
going to understand the concepts that have been mooted here. Truth,
Life, etc. are fascinating ideas for adult speculation, but I
honestly think the only one a ten-year-old would readily grasp is the
idea of Love. Even the youngest of her readers will have experienced
the power of Love. So, much as I would like it to be Truth, I think
afterall it will be simply Love.
