... at least, that is, according to Jeff Diamant of the Religious News Service. He writes,
His death will be a noble one, it is prophesied in the blogs, a death both sacrificial and necessary to save the world from the satanic Lord Voldemort. I agree with this line. I also expect Harry’s death to show that his character’s path is modeled on the Gospel accounts of Jesus, and, more significantly, that the link between him and wizardry-school headmaster Albus Dumbledore is patterned on the most essential relationship in the Christian Bible — that between Jesus the Son and God the Father.

I just can't accept that Harry will die. I bet they'll find a way to disenchant a Horcrux or something.
ReplyDeleteI tend to think trying to find all the Christian messages in the Harry Potter series is a bit strained. Other than the overall themes of good vs. evil, and sacrificing for one's friends, I just don't see it. Of course, I don't really want to see it -- I get tired of everything seemingly having to be a Christian allegory.
i wasn't convinced that harry was going to die until i read that jkr sobbed and cried as she changed the ending of her book. apparently, scar is no longer the last word.
ReplyDeletei find suzer's comment about constantly looking for the xian themes has gotten a little much. i think there are some there but i dont see that jkr has intently written it for that purpose.
dead or alive--i can hardly wait!
If I had to guess, my best guess would be that Hagrid and Voldemort die. I would cry my eyes out at Hagrid's death, and I suspect he might die trying to save Harry.
ReplyDeleteHaving read the latest little tidbit from Ms. Rowling, I wonder if the scar itself is a Horcrux? Perhaps once Voldemort dies, the scar disappears?
That's my theory and I'm stickin' to it! ;)
I am starting to fear that Harry will die. In an article that I posed on my blog (links have "Harry Potter), the author says the same thing. (Can't remember if it's the same author though). Dumbledore's death could have been somewhat sacrificial. I cried so much when he died. So we'll see in a couple weeks. . . .
