Whoa.
What can I say? It's been a wild ride.
But here's a sentiment that I'm sure many of you share: Why couldn't J.K. Rowling let an editor review the manuscript? I mean, seriously, I understand that she was trying to accentuate some of the things Harry was going through, but it seems like Rowling could still communicate the isolation and pathos without constantly backtracking over herself.
On the other hand, Rowling stuffed Deathly Hallows with a whole bunch of adult-oriented themes - including an especially brutal rape and coming to terms with one's own impending death - and handled them all very delicately so as not to completely overwhelm her primary audience.
But does anyone think that Rowling deliberately left the series open? What about the final fate of the Resurrection Stone? Is this a back-door for Voldemort to come back, or is he trapped in the afterlife in that twisted wreck of a soul?
Your thoughts?
