I attribute a lot of that to the fact that it contrasted drastically with the final chapter of the book. The Epilogue - Ok, I think most of us are in agreement that the epilogue was fairly cheesy. The grown Draco gave Harry a curt little nod, which to me, implied that while they will probably never be friends, they have long since put behind them the rivalry they once shared. The last we saw of Draco Malfoy was on the train platform in the Epilogue. She was concerned only with getting to her son. Narcissa lied to Voldemort when she was ordered to check to see if Harry was alive. Draco did try to get the horcrux in the Room of Requirement but I suspect he only cared about giving Voldemort what he wanted so that he and his family could get out of there alive. In the end, Narcissa and Lucius seemed to have abandoned all loyalty towards their former master. Sure, the Dark Lord took over their house and forced them to do his bidding but none of them seemed nearly as eager as they once were to be on his side. Narcissa, Lucius and Draco all seemed to slip very far down on Voldemort's list of trusted supporters.
The answer turned out to be a lovely shade of gray. Rest in peace, Severus.Īfter book 6 we all wondered whether Draco would turn out to be good or evil after failing to kill Dumbledore. The most heartbreaking part was looking back at Snape’s death scene after learning the truth about him and realizing that the reason he told Harry to look at him just before he died was because he wanted to get one last look at Harry’s eyes – the eyes that everyone said were just like his mother’s. Everything Snape did for Dumbledore, he did for Lily. I think the last person Snape probably would've wanted knowing about his love for Lily would've been Harry but in the end, he managed to fulfill his mission, giving up his inner most secrets to a boy he despised in order to redeem himself. Learning about his undying love for Lily, which continued on long after she died (as was proven by his doe patronus) was one of the best moments in the book. What better way to reveal to Harry the truth behind Snape’s allegiance to Dumbledore than through the pensieve. Ok, many of us were hoping Snape would turn out to be on Dumbledore’s side and some of us even speculated on his feelings for Lily but I have to say, Rowling orchestrated this whole plot beautifully. I never expected that when I considered what might happen in the last book but it was easily one of the best moments in the entire series. It was an added bonus that for the first time he was able to speak with his parents. As relieving as it was that Harry did inevitably survive yet another killing curse, I must say the fact that he was able to make this death-walk without turning and running the other way just shows what a true hero he is. His parents, Sirius and Lupin were there to accompany him as he took those final steps towards death. Once he was in the presence of his departed family, Harry seemed to detach himself from the world he was about to leave behind. Sirius told him it was easier than falling asleep, which I'm sure made him feel only slightly relieved. But the most heartbreaking moment during this conversation was when he asked if it hurt to die. He got to see Sirius and Lupin looking younger and healthier than he'd ever seen them when they were alive. He got to say a proper farewell to Lupin, who had died only an hour or so ago. He used the stone in the ring to reawaken the dead and see Lily, James, Sirius and Lupin once more. Wishing for Ginny to see him and stop him from doing what he must do.Īfter making it through the school, stopping only to tell Neville to kill Nagini, he walked out onto the grounds towards the forest.
Wishing he could see Ron and Hermione again. Wondering what it would feel like to die. Rowling did a beautiful job with this chapter, filling each page with Harry's thought processes. There were so many amazing moments in Deathly Hallows but the chapter that stands out most to me is "The Forest Again." This is the chapter in which Harry, having just learned that he must die in order to defeat Voldemort, accepts his fate and heads off to the forest.
