A Harry Potter Tribute

I can imagine the movie beginning with this music. I can imagine Harry Potter's life beginning with this music. And the tragedy he went through as a child, amplified as I re-read the chapter of him visiting Godric Hollow for the first time.

Two years odd ago, goodbyes were said and I no longer await for a new book with feverous anticipation. Now, goodbyes are being said again to the characters and actors who owned the roles they played. Severus Snape, you are Alan Rickman personified.

Let's not even begin talking about deaths before it gets me choking before I can finish this tribute-like thing I'm trying to pen/key in this episode. Here are some of the best quotes from The Series That Spellbounded Many.

Draco Malfoy - is not my favourite character, Tom Felton is a seperate issue alright? But Draco's tortured moments made me re-think, he was born into an elitist family and nobody has power to overwrite something like that. Unlike Voldie, Draco felt remorse and disgust at the violence a Death Eater wields and this makes him human.
Awesome quote - "Azkaban - the wizard's prison, Goyle. Honestly, if you were any slower, you'd be going backwards."

Severus Snape  - had the best ending in the entire series, fullstop. Bitter, we always knew that about Snape. But it was the entire setup for his character, and that sweetness we had not expected from Mr Sour-faced that made everything so bittersweet. Heck, just watch/read the last of the series to understand all that cryptic talk!
Awesome quote - "Oh, very good," interrupted Snape, his lip curling. "Yes, it is easy to see that nearly six years of magical education have not been wasted on you, Potter. 'Ghosts are transparent.'"

Albus Dumbledore - is another surprise you did not see coming. Or were you perceptive to his choices of silky, purple robes and graceful demeanour? Hard to imagine a great wizard like him had a past, and things he has done he wishes to improve on. Even the highest revered, is only human.
Awesome quote - "You fail to recognize that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be."

Remus Lupin - is my favourite DADA teacher, it would be Riddikulus to not be! I'm guessing there's no surprise there, a good sense of humor and intelligence, and most of all the humility he embodies is all very pleasant and likeable. Though he eventually became bitter and almost ran from his wife, it was all done in the name of protecting loved ones.
Awesome quote - (On the five signs to identify a werewofl) One: he's sitting in my chair. Two: he's wearing my clothes. Three: his name's Remus Lupin.

Lily Evans - Basically, the reason why I chose the song at the start of the post. You learn about Lily slowly throughout the series. But you first learn of her sacrifice, for her son. Voldie never meant to kill her, and her love manifested into an ancient spell which protects Harry even in her afterlife. She's one of my favourite female characters apart from Herm and Tonks.
Awesome quote - "I wouldn't go out with you if it was a choice between you and the giant squid."

Um, after-thought, this list is starting to feel like the 'dead list'. I think with the exception of 1, everyone else on it is dead.
