Pickpick

As always, this book made me cry at the end. It‘s such a powerful moment, and it‘s really the turning point where Harry really becomes an adult. He finally realises he‘s the only one who is going to turn things around, and no one can act for him. He must choose to be brave and do what is right, even when it‘s hard and the last thing he wants to do. I just want to hug him at the end.

Linsy Ditto! This ending gives me strength. 💚 (edited) 4y
GingerAntics @Linsy I think there is hope in the underlying love story. She doesn‘t even really get into it, but the hint of it is there. Ginny loves him and always has. As soon as he survives the second battle of Hogwarts, I have a feeling they‘re right back together. I always thought that in the end, if for no other reason, he faced Voldemort, thinking he was going to die, so others could take him down and Ginny could be safe. 4y
Linsy @GingerAntics He can't take her down with him. His selflessness is inspiring. I'm so used to MCs saying they shouldn't be with someone but doing it anyway that this is a breath of fresh air (that I'd honestly kind of glossed over before). 4y
GingerAntics @Linsy oh no, he‘d never take her down with him. It is very refreshing to see that version of humanity and manhood. It may be one more way he‘s similar to Tom. They both go it alone in the end. The one that can make that choice and still love, wins. 4y
GingerAntics @Linsy I think it‘s easy to gloss over it because Rowling doesn‘t really make a thing of it. She doesn‘t draw attention to it. It‘s there for readers to notice or not. You can understand the story without it. I think that‘s why it has so much appeal for for many age groups. 4y

And so the search begins...
And so Harry leaves the last vestiges of boyhood behind him and begins his journey as a man...
😢😢😢

Linsy Hagrid just breaks my heart 4y
GingerAntics @Linsy always. I think he‘s the raw emotion was all feel throughout. (edited) 4y
GingerAntics @Linsy I was also struck by the idea that this scene very much mirrors the scene in the next book where he thinks Harry is dead and carries him back to the castle at Voldemort‘s demand. 4y
Linsy @GingerAntics Ohmygosh, you're right!!! I hadn't though about that, but it has to be intentional. (edited) 4y
GingerAntics @Linsy I never noticed it until this read through. I imagine it was. If it somehow wasn‘t, that is one coincidental turn of events. Everyone is gathered around for both. Dumbledore has the fancy robes and Harry is dirty and we have no idea when he last showered. The similarities and the differences... we could philosophise all day long, but both are well known wizards that everyone is sad to see gone (accept Harry isn‘t gone, obviously). (edited) 4y

This part always makes me cheer just a little. It‘s like Dumbledore‘s triumphant moment.

Linsy It truly is. Even in his weakest state, he fights for his Harry. He's terrifyingly powerful. 🔥 4y

GingerAntics @Linsy it looks greener in your picture. lol 4y
Linsy @GingerAntics Lol, that might have been my phone settings when I was taking the pic. I swear sometimes it makes nature pics look greener than real life. 4y
GingerAntics @Linsy I‘m cool with that setting. lol 4y

This is almost identical to this scene in the NintendoDS game of this movie. It seems they chose to stay true to the book a little more than the movie for this scene.
