The meaning of all the deaths in HP:

  • James and Lily: To establish the story line as well as to show orphans of war.
  • Cedric Diggory: To show Voldemort's mercilessness.
  • Sirius Black: To show Harry's lack of guidance/parental figures.
  • Albus Dumbledore: To show the death of a great leader can't stop a war.
  • Hedwig: To show the end of Harry's childhood.
  • Mad Eye: To show the death of a soldier.
  • Dobby: To show even the smallest of creatures can die a Hero's death.
  • Fred Weasley: To show that some deaths you just can't get over. And that's okay.
  • Tonks and Remus Lupin: To reestablish orphans of war.
  • Colin Creevey: To show that the good die young, even when they aren't supposed to.
  • Severus Snape: To show that you can always change your ways. Always.

"I feel too much. That’s what’s going on. Do you think one can feel too much? Or just feel in the wrong ways? My insides don’t match up with my outsides. Do anyone’s insides and outsides match up? I don’t know. I’m only me. Maybe that’s what a person’s personality is: the difference between the inside and outside. But it’s worse for me. I wonder if everyone thinks it’s worse for him. Probably. But it really is worse for me."

"What else? She is so beautiful. You don’t get tired of looking at her. You never worry if she is smarter than you: You know she is. She is funny without ever being mean. I love her. I am so lucky to love her, Van Houten. You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers."
- Augustus Waters (The Fault in Our Stars, John Green)
"When his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, Job knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, ‘Why, God? Why me?’ And the thundering voice of God answered, ‘There’s just something about you that pisses me off.’"

"

I stand in this parking lot, realizing that I’ve never been this far from home, and here is this girl I love and cannot follow. I hope this is the hero’s errand, because not following her is the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

I keep thinking she will get into her car, but she doesn’t, and finally she turns around to me and I see her soaked eyes. The physical space between us evaporates. We play the broken strings of our instruments one last time.

“It’s hard to stay mad, when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once, and it’s too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst… And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life.” 

"Never lose the child-like wonder. It’s just too important. It’s what drives us."
