The Magic Begins - A 30 Day HP Challenge
Day 10 - Saddest SceneThere are some very sad scenes over the course of seven novels, and some of the saddest are in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The one that still stings the most, that makes me shake a little with anger at the thought of it, and that of many unnecessary-seeming deaths, is Hedwig’s. Animal deaths in books always tug so hard at my heartstrings, but Hedwig’s is particularly painful. She’s Harry’s first gift. She’s represents Harry’s childhood, and her dying strips whatever remnants of it that were left away from him. It’s like when you’re little and either someone you know, or someone close to you dies, and its the first time someone has had to sit down and explain what death is to you. Hedwig dying is like learning that overwhelming first understanding all over again, but it’s less gentle and careful. It’s more like someone ripping a bandaid off for you and then laughing manically afterwards.
