This year for my free choice book I read “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” by J.K. Rowling. “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” is about Harry’s search for horcruxes with his two best friends Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger. The trio sets out after Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour’s wedding at the end of July to find the four remaining horcruxes, to, in the end, be able to kill Lord Voldemort. I have chosen the ocean as the symbol to represent this book. The ocean is a symbol for the character Harry Potter and the book.

The ocean is a perfect symbol to represent this book. The ocean is full of all different types of fish and plants. “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” is full of different types of characters. Some characters are not human and do not exist in real life, like the goblins, hippogriffs, and the dragons. Also the human characters differ, there are Muggles, and Witches and Wizards. Hermione is a smart and clever witch but she is very different from Bellatrix Lestrange, a dark witch who loves Lord Voldemort. Harry has some of the same abilities as the Dark Lord but he is very different from the Dark Lord. Harry can speak Parseltongue like Lord Voldemort, but what Harry has the Dark Lord does not is the ability to love causing them to be very different. Also the ocean never stops and is like the witches and wizards in Britain. They kept preserving through the time when the Ministry was corrupted and Lord Voldemort was controlling them. All the people who fought at The Battle of Hogwarts preserved even though people were dying and at the end they kept fighting even though they thought Harry was dead. Third of all, the tide goes out but comes back in like some of the characters in the book. In a previous book Percy Weasley leaves the Burrow and becomes as quoted from Fred Weasley in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” page six hundred and six, a “Ministry-loving, family-disowning, power-hungry moron.” Percy ends up coming back to fight in The Battle of Hogwarts with his family. Ron also leaves Harry and Hermione in the woods while looking for horcruxes because he has become very angry with them. He returns weeks later to complete the search with them. The last character to leave and come back is Remus Lupin. Lupin leaves a pregnant Nymphadora Tonks to help the trio with their search. He returns to Tonks after a fight with Harry about leaving her and his unborn child, and that James would not have wanted Lupin to leave them. The ocean is the perfect symbol for representing this book.

The ocean is not only a symbol for this book but also a symbol for Harry Potter. The book shows the reader many examples to let them believe that is a perfect symbol to represent him. First of all the ocean never stops even after it reaches its destination, meaning the tide is always moving in and out, never stopping. Harry is like this, never stopping even after he reaches his destination. He never stopped trying to put an end to Lord Voldemort and after he successfully killed the Dark Lord, Harry did not stop trying to defeat the Dark Arts. After Harry left Hogwarts he became an Auror and later the head of the Auror department. Even thought Lord Voldemort is gone there is still Dark Magic and people who use it, so there is still use for Aurors. Also in relation to the ocean never stopping, Harry showed perseverance in the book. Harry never gave up trying to find horcruxes or expressing his theory on the Deathly Hallows, though Hermione kept shooting it down. He also was willing to go somewhere not necessarily save if it meant finding horcruxes or something to destroy them with. Thirdly, the ocean is full of different types fish and plants. Harry is full of different ideas, qualities, and emotions. There are many qualities, which Harry possesses including perseverance, determination, kindness, and most of the time patience. Harry also has many different ideas including ones about how to defeat Lord Voldemort; destroying the horcruxes or possessing the Deathly Hallows. Also there are many different emotions that Harry feels, he feels anger and hate towards Lord Voldemort for killing his mother and father. He also feels anger towards himself because he believes it was his fault Sirius was killed, and he also feels love towards Hermione, Ron, and the Weasleys in a brother sister way, but a romantic love towards Ginny. The ocean is a perfect symbol to represent Harry.

Over all, the ocean is not only a symbol for the entire book but also for Harry Potter. The ocean relates to Harry because it never stops and is full of all different types of fish and plants. Harry never stops trying to stop the Dark Arts, he show perseverance, and he has many different ideas, qualities, and emotions. The ocean also relates to the book because the tide goes out but comes back in, it never stops, and it is full of different types of fish and plants. In the book characters leave but come back like the tide, the characters have to preserver thought tough times, and the book is full of different types of characters. The ocean is a perfect symbol for not only this book and Harry Potter but also the whole series.

I’d like to thank who ever put the time in to making this wonderful video. It shows clues to support the theory of Ron and Hermione’s true feelings towards each other.

That fateful night at Godric’s Hallows also proved Snapes love for her. First of all, everyone must realize that someone else had to be at Godric’s Hallows the night of the faithful attack because people found out about what happened rather then just finding two people murdered in a house and also what remained of Voldemort and that his wand was taken away somewhere. Anyways, that night, Snape who must have already proven himself to be Voldemort’s most trust worthy servant (possibly proved himself by suggesting that Peter Pettigrew was their secret keeper and pressuring him to tell the secret). Therefore he was able to ask for a favor of the Dark Lord to spare Lily and may have told him that she could be useful. Though, when Lily wouldn’t move, Voldemort got nervous and just killed her and Harry. This was what pushed Snape too far! Voldemort just killed his only true love and from that point on he promised himself to avenge Lily and that was the moment he decided to join Dumbledore. He went to Dumbledore and told him everything. He gave the first hand story about what happened and why he wanted to join his side. This proved to Dumbledore that he could be trusted because he put everything on the line. He put his life, feelings and future in front of Dumbledore to decide what to do with him. Instead of Dumbledore killing or turning him in like most would do he gave him protection and a job.

I also, mentioned that Snape’s love for Lily would explain his worst memory. His worst memory as we found out in Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix during Harry’s occlemcy lesson with Professor Snape was because of Lily. His worst memory was about James bulling him and then Lily came to his rescue, because she came to his rescue he wanted to prove to everyone, and especially Lily, that he could defend himself but he couldn’t do that when she was sticking up for him. Then after they finally stopped, he was mad at her and then he called her a mudblood (a super mean and nasty word). Then she got really up set and insulted him and called him Snivellus (they name that James and Sirius teased him with). This was his worst memory because he insulted his love and then she got really upset and insulted him right back. She became exactly what she was just trying to protect him from. So, I believe that Snape loved Lily, do you? Let me know what you think and leave and read other comments below!

1. I just want him to live so that should be a good enough reason; however, I just don’t think that J.K. Rowling would kill him, maybe other close friends of Harry’s, but not him — the main character!
2. J.K. Rowling has already said that the last chapter in the book will be a epilogue and so if she kills Harry, then it will not be much of an epilogue.

I must however admit that there are some people out there who do not share my views on the matter. They believe that Harry will die for two main reasons:

1. Some just want it to happen; because it would be a fitting ending or because no one not even Harry can escape death that many times.
2. J. K. Rowling has already said that she does not want any non author-written-sequels to be made and so the only way to ensure that no non author-written-sequels are made is to kill Harry, who is the main reason for the books’ existence.

Whether you think that Harry will live or die I want to hear about it so leave a comment!
