Harry & The Thestrals

[ilexrdh]

No: HPFGUIDX 92837


Of course, Harry was too young to comprehend his Mom's death, but at 
the end of book 4, when he uses the carriages to get to the Hogwarts 
Express station in Hogsmeade, he is still working his way (mentally) 
thru the grief process, i.e. he was still in shock/denial, but by the 
time he comes back in the fall, he has accepted Cedric's death, 
hence, he can see the horses pulling the carriages.  By the way, is 
that a great drawing of the thestrals in the beasts listing in the HP 
lexicon or what!!! 
Neville saw his uncle's ( maybe great uncle's) passing, so he can see 
the thestrals, too.
