Rated: All Ages [Reviews - 4]

Searching for the Afterlife in Harry Potter by LumosNight3
Rated: All Ages [Reviews - 0]
Summary: This is what I hope to develop as a series of essays that look at the topic of death within the Harry Potter series. More specifically, I will be trying to find evidence of an afterlife (or lack thereof) and what exactly it consists of. The first essay will look at ghosts, but future essay topics will likely include the scene at King's Cross, a brief look at portraits, the Resurrection Stone, various key scenes from the series, and more! I'm sure I will discover more as I go along. Hope to see you there with me!

Rated: All Ages [Reviews - 2]
Summary: Somewhat of a follow-up to my first Quibble, The Seven Wonders of Weasley, I take a look at how sorting affects the Black family, in particular Sirius. This is not another lengthy analysis of specific characters and their attributes, but rather I'm trying to think about why J.K. Rowling sorts Sirius so differently from his family for reasons beyond the fact that he truly is a Gryffindor at heart.
