"To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure." J.K. Rowling

To me, Harry Potter always has, and always will be, about death. Death is something that affects everyone, no matter the language you speak, the religion you practice, or even if you are magic or a muggle. Death is one of the few things that, even in the wizarding world, still affects them the same as it affects the real world. The whole saga begins with the death of Harry's parents, an event that is tragic, but without it we wouldn't have the tale we've come to know and love today. Throughout all of Harry's life, death has been at the core of it. To the deaths of his loved ones, to even having to face the death of himself head on. But due to what he's been through he's able to face his death head on, because he knows it's not the end, and that its okay. I could write basically an essay on how death is the theme of Harry Potter and how because of it, its made me and I'm sure thousands of others, more okay with death. It presents it in such a way that, you no longer fear it, because Harry in the end triumphs over it, he shows you its nothing to fear. And for an Author, of what first appeared to be a simple childrens series, can accomplish that? I can't wait to see what she does in her next great adventure.
