supposedly it was Merope who did magic late in life.
I guess I’m the weird one. I wasn’t all that happy with this book, nor was I with the 6th.
I kinda lost my joy for this Universe in the 5th book when JKR killed Sirius. I had just lost one of my 4-legged kids, and one month to the day after losing him, my Godfather.
To me, this book was the story of Severus Snape, not Harry Potter.
I didn’t like the epilogue, and I hated that poor Remus, who never was really shown that much was killed off screen. I mean, couldn’t just one of the Marauders make it to old age, and die a natural death? Would that have been just too much to ask?
Maybe I’ve become jaded, but I doubt I’ll return to the Wizarding World for a re-read ever again.
In, perhaps, the same sense that the Bible is about people, not Jesus.
