Comments on: “No God-stuff in Harry Potter:” Correspondence from Ohio http://www.hogwartsprofessor.com/no-god-stuff-in-harry-potter-correspondence-from-ohio/ Thoughts for the Serious Reader of Harry Potter Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:44:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.3 By: Scriptor http://www.hogwartsprofessor.com/no-god-stuff-in-harry-potter-correspondence-from-ohio/comment-page-1/#comment-312 Scriptor Wed, 04 Apr 2007 18:10:45 +0000 http://hogwartsprofessor.com/?p=48#comment-312 I have participated in chat groups where both Christians and Atheists have spent hours hashing and rehashing their ideas about who God is or isn't. The gentleman who wrote you obviously is concerned about the 'God-Stuff', else why would he take time to write you, as busy as he is? But his letter was already full of brick walls which are difficult, if not downright impossible, to break. Sad, really.

It could possibly be a gallows that has been destroyed under Harry. The curtains look tattered and old, Harry is wearing something around his neck and it is not shiny, more like a cloth bag (medicine). I wonder if Harry is looking at his Father symbol. He has many, but since the patronus is part of the cover, maybe the stag or James. I keep making passes on the up close versions and have been studying Harry's eyes and it looks like there is a definite reflection of some sort in his glasses and in his eye. One eye is normal but the other almost looks reptillian or cat like. I looked closer and tried to see if there was a far away object in the reflectio and it looks like a creature with wings flying and sometimes I look at it and see an owl reflection as if it is up close. Wierd or maybe not. If it is a stag or Buckbeak, it is a Christ symbol. Guys we are being bombarded with Christian symbolism at it's best visually. I am thrilled!!!!!!!!!

Oh and I cannot believe I missed this, but Harry is looking up toward heaven and at his feet are the destroyed fragments of wood, symbol of the cross. Also, looking at the U.K. kids cover, could they be in a tomb? As in one of the four founders. Griffindor possibly. If Harry pulled the sword from Gryffindors hat then maybe he could also aquire the things that go with it from his sources, the shield and breast plate. I missed this so add it to my last post.

O.K. I am now going to employ my wisdom of how to critique a work of art since that is what my major in college was, Art History. First of all in the U.S. version Harry is in the Christ pose (in the shape of a cross). That was my first hunch, as it goes with the Christian theme. If you have studied as many images, (1000's) as I have of Christian art, you will notice that right away. Grand Pre would have had to learn art history if she attended any college in the western world and would definitly know about this. Of course it is JKR's book, and she would know her story. Next I think Dobby is in the U.K cover, bringing the sword to Harry helping him out as he always does. He has his own brand of magic and works at the castle behind the scenes. He had access to gillyweed, why not the sword. I also like the prediction that Harry and lot are at Gringotts, which has been my prediction all the time. That the end will go down at the bank with the goblins and dragons because LV will need something from there and they will try to stop him. Just my take, but you can take the Christ pose symbolism to the bank. Not sure where to put this about the cover news so here goes.
