Week 12, Post 2: Harry Potter Part 3

I really enjoyed the part of the book when Harry got the invisibility cloak and found the mirror with his family in it. I liked it because he was so happy to see his family. I can only imagine how that would be, even though he couldn't actually touch them he could see them and that was great. It's almost no comparison, but I know I will be happy to see my family after this semester. I haven't seen them in such a long time it's crazy. I have never been away from my parents for this long. FaceTiming just isn't the same either, it only lasts a little while and you can't go actually do things together. I would relate the mirror a little bit to FaceTime though, only his family didn't exactly say much to him and they couldn't carry on much of a conversation. Plus, since he had never actually seen them in real life, he didn't know what they looked like. I bet in his day he would have loved to FaceTime his parents through the mirror. It was kind of sad when he was told that the mirror only reflected ones happiness. I thought it gave him a little bit of hope seeing that his parents were kind of still alive, or at least visible. I'm starting to wonder, with the wizard world and all, if his parents could actually see him on the other side too or if he was just staring into his thoughts. If only they could carry on a conversation with each other, that would have been good, but also Harry would have never wanted to leave the mirror. There must be some type of immortal world for wizards and witches after they die, because they are so magical and powerful, it would be insane if someone hadn't invented it by now. So instead of dying, they do 'die' but they go to the other side where other people who have died go.  I don't know if you watch the Vampire Diaries or not, but it is about all of that, and when a supernatural character dies, they would go through Bonnie, the anchor to 'the other side' where they would live until they found peace. Once a supernatural found peace, they would leave the horrible 'other side' to fully die. It's crazy because Bonnie could see people from both sides, living and dead, which was kind of cool because she could talk to some of her supernatural friends if they passed through to the other side still. Anyway, I loveeee the Vampire Diaries and I totally suggest you watch it, but if you want to check it out, watch an episode from the middle, those are the best, then start from the bottom if you like it.
