that score). But I for one won't forgive Rowling if Harry dies...
OK, I'll forgive her, but she'll have to do better than having Harry
die to save the world from Voldemort. Too much like so many other
hero stories, religious and otherwise.
Alla:
I disagree with Hanna. I want to refer you again to March 2004 chat,
where to the question "in which form We will see Sirius again? The
reply was something like I don't want to answer that for the fear of
incriminating myself" - paraphrasing.
I think it is a given that we will see Sirius in SOME shape or form
again.
The only questiuon for me is whether it will be fully human form or
not.
Rowling already proved that she is not afriad to write about death -
Cedric is dead, Lily and James' deaths are always haunting Harry, so
iif it will turns out that Sirius was not "properly dead" in the
first place, it will not cheapen the meaning of the death in the
series for me at all.
Kim:
> Why would killing Harry be wrong and in my opinion a negative
lesson for children? Because Harry is the hero, he's a kid, he's
suffered enough, he deserves to live, for crying out loud. And it's
fiction after all. The young have been giving up their lives for
worthy and not so worthy causes too often for too many years in the
real world. High time for older folks to put their lives on the
line for the young (and this is me speaking as a semi-older folk).
Alla:
Agreed with this paragraph. I want to repeat my some kind of
semiprognosis of what will happen at the end.
Harry will be completely ready to sacrifice his life to destroy
Voldie (how - of course I don't know) and as a result of such
sacrifice he will experience "temporary" death and then will be
resurrected so to speak.
