Harry Potter__to Fred and George

512 views. 2010-11-27 11:23 |Individual Classification:Review|

  One of the cruelest murders JKR had committed in Harry Potter is she killed Fred in the end. Though we got used to death after we watched our favorite characters being tortured, slaughtered in HP 7 one after another, still Fred’s death came quite as a shock.
 

   The deaths of the others, though heartbreaking, but still are predictable in one way or other. Sirius and Snape died. Their ends are determined from the very beginning. They have shouldered too much----the burning guilty of their mistakes; the great loss of their loved ones, the haunting images of the past. Death for them is not a punishment but a mercy. Lupin and Tonks also died. But at least they were romanced and married to the right one, they have given birth to a healthy boy—who, no doubt, would live on with their legend. Even Dumpledore, even Dobby…. They all died for a reason.

 

But certainly JKR would spare Fred and George----the inseparable twins who can always bring us the laughers and joys? They are like the sunshine, always cheerful and energetic. There is no trace of danger impending, no clue of gloomy ending upon them. However Fred died and George was handicapped. Again, Harry Potter has proven itself not to be a fairy tale. In a fairy tale, a boy like Fred and George would live happily forever with their creative jokes. But Harry Potter is by no means a fairy tale.

 

Perhaps to make up for the twins, JKR let them outshine the others, even Harry, in the battle against Umbridge’s terrorism. They let off the fireworks making her first day as Headmistress miserable; They turned a school corridor into a swamp which giving Umbridge and Filch a lot of troubles; they left many Skiving Snackboxes to help students to skip Umbridge’s classes. Surely they are the only school troublemakers in history whose mischief backed up by the whole school, including the teachers. I can’t help but laugh when Professor Flitwich said to a disheveled and soot-blackened Umbridge “ I could have got ride of the sparklers myself, of course, but I wasn’t sure whether or not I had the authority. “ To make it perfect, JKR gave them a legendary farewell to Hogwards---flight to freedom on their broomsticks.
 

“Don’t bother to keep in touch.” Said George to Umbridge. Then the two sped out of the open front doors into the glorious sunset. Thanks George and Fred, they still make us smile even in dark and heavy HP5.

everyone has his own style and taste. of course it is Ok if Harry Potter is not your cup of tea. As for me, even being childish is not something bad because its childish offers us something to be fanciful----and believe me, sometimes indulging in fanciful daydream is a great way to relax.

Although I've seen the movie in the cinema, I didn't  sense this much. Maybe because I didn't watch the whole series of it and had no deep feelings for the characters in it. I agree with you when you say:As for me, even being childish is not something bad because its childish offers us something to be fanciful----and believe me, sometimes indulging in fanciful daydream is a great way to relax.  i want to watch them all during the winter break.
