JK Rowling Talks About Her Fave Harry Potter Scene

According to Mugglenet's source, JK Rowling has contributed an extract of her favourite Harry Potter scene to The Birthday Book, which marks the 60th birthday of the Prince of Wales.

In it, she talks about Harry's walk into the Dark forest, where Voldermort is waiting to kill him to end the prophesy that was foretold by Professor Trelawney many years ago. She wrote on Harry's accepptance of his fate by his own will rather by the expectations of the Wizarding World which expects him to destroy the evil Voldermort once and for all.

He could have chosen the easy way out by rejecting his fate and goes away from the Wizarding World to avoid confrontation with Voldermort. Yet he's brave enough to face his own destiny, that he is the only one who can destroy Voldermort and he walks his final path with conviction.

Albus Dumbledore is proud of Harry and is rightfully so. As a fan of the Harry Potter series, I am also feeling proud of Harry. JK Rowling's portrayal of Harry is so vivid and rich that makes it easy for readers and fans to connect to him on a personal level.

Now that the series has drawn to a close, I feel very sad that there will be no more insights into Harry's wondrous world. Nonetheless, I still possess the 7 books of the series and can still re-read them to relive the memories of Harry and his friends.

There is also the release of The Tales of Beedle the Bard and I am going to preorder it next week so that I can get my hands on the book. Man I can't wait for 4th December to arrive soon enough!

w00t!!!
