I have two crazy theories; one about Harry's final destiny and one about who
the Half Blood Prince is. I'd love to hear your views.

Both theories fit into the framework of my essay, "Harry Potter - Christian
Rosycross in Jeans", which is filed under files/essays.

The reason my theories are crazy is because they contradict themselves or
are physically impossible, and it's crazy to propound theories like that,
isn't it?

Right at the end of my essay I state: "The emotional ego is situated in the
inner sanctuary of heart, the temple-tomb of Venus. Harry will no doubt
enter this room and, like CRC, he will be punished by becoming a gatekeeper
(and yet coming home)."

Here the temple-tomb of Venus is represented in HP as the Room of Love in
the MoM.

But in the next paragraph I write: "Harry will pass through the Gate of
Saturn  not to die the ordinary death of us who are shackled to the wheel
of reincarnation, but the death of total self-sacrifice.."

So what I'm saying is that Harry will die, and yet he'll become gate-keeper.
I must admit I couldn't visualise how, in a practical sense, Harry could be
made gate-keeper, until my wife pointed out Hagrid's official title, which
he tells Harry when they first meet in PS: "Keeper of the Keys and Grounds
at Hogwarts". That's it! Harry will become Keeper of the Keys, i.e.
Gatekeeper at Hogwarts. He will take over Hagrid's job!

So Harry will die, and take over Hagrid's job. Does sound rather crazy,
doesn't it. Yet that is what will happen as indicated by the Alchemical
Wedding.

The reason I feel inspired to tell you this is because just the last few
posts have been very interesting in their theories about the Gate of Saturn
(the archway with the veil)! There was an extremely interesting post about
Greek mythology, and how people have passed through the Gate of Saturn and
come back, e.g. Orpheus, Hercules and others. We also had that startling
fact about the pomegranate juice! Theories about Harry passing through the
Gate and seeing Sirius and Harry's parents, are flying thick and fast. And
rightfully so, in my opinion, because it makes my theory look less
ridiculous (lol). In addition we've all been speculating what Cuaron put in
the film that gave JKR goosebumps. Well, what gave me goosebumps in the
film, was the face of Sirius in the crystal ball. That isn't in the book! I
suspect these things are all related. I'd also like to throw into the
cauldron here Iris' superb post about mirrors, and the fact that
Rosicrucians call the sphere of dead the "Mirror Sphere". Perhaps somehow
Sirius will communicate to Harry via a crystal ball and help him get through
the Gate of Saturn by the use of a mirror - maybe the Mirror of Erised. And
perhaps Harry will use the Sirius' magic mirror to find Sirius once he gets
through the Gate. Who knows?

To sum up theory No. 1: Harry will pass through the Gate of Saturn and
return. This will be linked to his defeat of Voldemort. And the story will
close with Harry being the Keeper of the Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts. 

I hope some of you will comment on the likelihood of Harry taking over
Hagrid's job!

Second theory: the trio is the Half Blood Prince. Actually I must admit I
can't see how this could be possible, but at least this theory can claim
merit due to the fact that it's the most unlikely one of all (compared to
the ones posted here), and therefore might well be the right one, knowing
JKR's devious mind.

I've already introduced this theory in my post No. 104096. I referred to the
Prodigal Son, and to the fact that JKR always lists the trio in the same
order. She never varies: H, R and H. And is it a coincidence that HRH stands
for His/Her Royal Highness?

There's another piece of evidence though. If we look at the magical "blood"
of the trio we get: Harry: half-blood. Ron: full-blood. Hermione: mud blood.
Total?  plus 1 plus 0 = 1. Exactly half of three!!

The reason why I'm sticking to this unlikely theory though, is the
indications in the Alchemical Wedding. There, six kings and queens are
beheaded and their bodies used alchemically to resurrect two of them. I
think these six monarchs symbolise the three positive and negative (or
creative and receptive) aspects of the human consciousness. If we simplify
this and leave out the duality aspect, we get three monarchs. And two of
them are wearing crowns, just as in Harry's dream in OoP Hermione and Ron
are wearing crowns. Hence my belief is that Harry, Ron and Hermione will
become monarchs in the alchemical processes which the books are in fact
describing, albeit in a very veiled and symbolical way. They will END UP as
monarchs. Who is a candidate for monarchy? A prince!

I'm sorry, I know all this sounds crazy, but I can't help believing that JKR
means the trio by the Half Blood Prince. But how can three people be a
prince? I don't know! Any thoughts?

And finally may I say how wonderful some of the posts are just now!

Warm regards to all, including those who disagree with me.
