Harry Potter‘s legerdemain disappeared before the end of his final book , according to phantasy novelistLev Grossman , and it ’s all because of happy endings . raider out front for those who still have n’t read the Deathly Hallows !
Grossman explained his dashing hopes in JK Rowling ’s selection of future for her boy hero to Newsarama.com :
I enjoy Harry Potter , but that epilogue was such an dumfounding failure of imagination on Rowling ’s part ! And in a manner , it throws the entireness of all seven novels into doubt retroactively .
I felt the problem she die to solve was the question of , “ here ’s a unseasoned valet de chambre who can do magic , who has shoot down the foe of humanity when her was 18 – what ’s the rest of his life look like ? ” And the best she can imagine is that he get hitched with his high school steady and order on a big catgut and know in the suburbia . What a disaster !
He went on to say ,
There has to be some better fortune for Harry Potter than what he gets . I think that ’s something of the message of [ Grossman ’s Modern book ] The Magicians – you ’re not going to go to Narnia , but there has to be something better than that materialistic suburban mediocrity that seems like the only alternative .
Somewhere , a million Potter devotee are sharpening their knives in cooking for revenge .
