“It is a curious thing, Harry, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well.”
What an ending! Having grown up watching the Harry Potter film series, I always regarded it as an outstanding cinematic saga. However, there was a lingering sense that the films didn't fully explore all the potential of this narrative. Especially since the Goblet of Fire, I've been on a journey to uncover those missed nuances, and that has been a gratifying experience.
Despite the Deathly Hallows being split into two films, delving into the book revealed a narrative that surpassed my expectations. It not only reinforced the admiration I already held for this magical tale but also offered insights into aspects of the story that had previously gone unnoticed by me. The depth of character and the intricacies of the plot were much more profound, drawing attention to details that I never paid much attention to (for example, all the aspects about the Deathly Hallows finally made sense to me).
The narrative took on a much darker tone, enriched with emotion and significant character development. For example, rediscovering Dumbledore from a different perspective added new layers to his character, becoming a much more unique character in my eyes.
The excellent payoff for elements left behind in previous books gave an outstanding conclusion that I will not forget and probably will want to revisit in the future.
