Hey there. It’s been a while. Yes I haven’t been posting regularly. But I can’t say anything to justify it. I’m sorry for the sporadic nature of my posts. I’ve just been preoccupied with everything else that life throws at me. But… Times awasting.
The third and last post of the Deathly Hallow Trio nearly a month late but here at last.
The Resurrection Stone created or obtained by Cadmus Peverell to get back together with his lost love. The stone was said to have brought back a shade of the person who you loved and you couldn’t truly touch them or be with them. ( Kind of defeats the name itself a ‘Resurrection’ stone that only resurrected a shade instead of the entire soul). There have been many theories across the fandom that the shades brought back were only illusions which used memories of the wielder. But that’s not the point of this post. And I should get back to it aye?
The person I feel most associated with this Hallow is obviously The Boy Who Lived (after losing his parents), The Chosen One (who was chosen to die for the greater good of defeating Voldemort), and The Man Who Vanquished (only to marry his fan girl. Why would The Queen do this? Why why why?).
Harry Potter’s entire life has been guided by people he loved and he lost. His mother who gave him her unconditional love died to save him. This unconditional love leaves him with a protection “that cant be seen”. His nightmares are consistently haunted by her death. A flash of green light and the words “Avada Kedavra”. (feels really depressing that he remembers his mother’s last words as she is killed as if she is inconsequential). Supposedly, the love of Lily Potter leaves him with a protection strong enough to warrant emotional abuse at the hands of uncaring relatives.
He is starved for affection at the Dursleys. Even without using the usual fandom exaggeration it is very well known that Harry is emotionally abused and had never been shown an iota of love by the Elder Dursleys. His regarding of Hogwarts as his home due to his unreserved acceptance there despite the deadly problems he runs into there is proof of it. He is consistently seen defending people who have shown him any love and support whether Platonic(Ron, Hermione, Twins, Ginny) or parental (Hagrid, Sirius, Remus, Minerva, Albus, Arthur and Molly).
The loss of Sirius leads him to attempt to torture Bellatrix and the insulting of McGonagall results in him successfully using Crucio. Even as he walks to his death to save the wizarding world he is shown reaching out for his loved ones so that they can be with him in his final moments and avoiding his best friends so that he doesn’t get deterred from his path of self sacrifice.
Harry Potter is the living symbolism of the love that the Resurrection Stone was meant to initially provide. And this is my reason why he is the most apt living representation of the stone instead of Albus Dumbledore despite the latter’s consistent preaching about it.
This is the end of the Harry Potter End of An Era Posts. And I will probably posting about more inane topics like my exploits on various dating apps or some such.
Wishing you a good day!
