I forget that some don't want to see the movie images beforehand as well. Will remove it now, but sorry about the upset! :-(S.P.

All names beginning with "R"? :-)<br />Thanks so much for your feedback. And thank you, Laura, for the inspiration!<br />Leslie, I hope your 5th graders enjoy it! I sub sometimes at my kids school, and I love it when I see one of them reading a Potter book and I can share with them as another fan. :-)<br />Lisa -- You're exactly right about Ron's arc. Somewhere in here I've got a post on secondaries and their obstacles and growth. Hermione also killed a Horcrux, Hufflepuff's cup, with the basilisk fang. JKR spread the love around!S.P.

I especially love your point in the last book about asking for help by stepping aside to let others kill the horcruxes (not just Neville but Ron as well). Ron has a huge character arc in that book as well, doesn't he? Accepting his own self-worth after living in Harry's (and his brothers') shadows for so long.Lisa Gail Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03648323153868702165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330251478298712601.post-70050953816914921342011-04-04T13:31:18.707-04:002011-04-04T13:31:18.707-04:00Even as a adult I learned lessons from Harry's...Even as a adult I learned lessons from Harry's journey.
