Post-Epic Depression ?
Q.When you're older, you might have that chance. Wouldn't an Obliviate curse be handy for that? Perhaps /you'll/ discover you can do magic later in life--especially since no one in the book did.
A.I am sure that many of us over analyzed the books. So much time was spent dissecting every work of the prophesy, only to find it meant just what it said. No tricks, no subtle meanings, no 'other'. Then all that about the 7th child of a 7th child, and Ginny being a very powerful witch (which she was, but underutilized), and no significance to the plot despite hints about something mysterious about her birth. Then the discussion about the person to do magic late in life, which there wasn't... I have to give the imagination award to those who figured out that Harry was a horcrux, albeit an unintentional one. They hit nail on the head, in spite of logical reasons why he couldn't be one. And most of us were right on about Snape being asked to kill Dumbledore, and still being on the side of the light. Now I am about ready to stop spending so much time here as there is little remaining to discuss. Well, a lot depends on what you like. I like Harry/Ginny romance stories. There is a site called SIYE (Sink Into Your Eyes) that only accepts Harry/Ginny relationship stories, although there are many with Ron/Hermione as well there. Best yet, there are stories there you can download the whole story so you don't have to stay online while you read a story that is 200,000 words long. Some fanfiction is VERY poorly written, with bad spelling, and bad grammar, while some in quite professional, and very readable.
