A Harry Potter fan since 2002, I couldn’t wait to get hold of a copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when it was released on July 21, 2007.
After finished reading the entire book, I must say I am not disappointed at all.
Personally, I applaud the effort of the author, J. K. Rowling.
I believe Rowling must have taken loads of her time and efforts as she planned, researched, organized and wrote Harry Potter since the last century. Not only has she put together a lot of great plots in the entire series, Harry Potter is chuck full of contrasting themes such as love & betrayal, greed & sacrifice, wickedness & innocence, etc. that I find it difficult not to question about the many options of lifestyle than we can choose to live in this world after putting down the book in the middle of the night.
While I try very hard not to over-analyze the core message behind the entire story, Harry Potter makes me somehow wonder what true heroism is all about.
What do you think…
Is heroism only about fighting for a good cause till the very end? Or
Is heroism more about finding the balance to live an honorable life through cultivating kindness and love?
