After re re re re...... REREADING (many re's) harry potter and the prisoner of askaban. but I have noticed something different about the reading this time. J. K. Rowling writes this book, and this is the last time in a book, other than the seventh, when there is a happy ending. In the end of the fourth book, there is no happy ending, diggory has died, and the Dark Lord is alive (or close to it) once more. In the fifth book, sirius dies, the sixth, Dumbledore dies, and the seventh, while it is somewhat happy, the ending kills dobby (I really cried) Tonks, Remus, Colin (REALLY, DID SHE HAVE TO DO THAT?) and many others.
Belatrix's death was fit for an evil queen, killed by Molly Weasly, in an epic duel. however, the seemingly random slaughter of the innocent is shocking, and the cause is worth the death however, in the end, it was he who created the monster, kept it alive, and had to kill it (harry) The tragedy was questionable,why did the books quite suddenly get darker. The plots twists become more violent, and the bells at hogwarts ring for the dead. Perhaps Rowling felt her audience was growing up, however how would younger audiences assimilate into the series.
the darker twists make you wonder the reasoning behind these provoking deaths, and changes in writing. An event in her life, a suggestion, or what...
