The Mother who Lived

by drinkingcocoa

8 Ratings, 0 Likes, 0 Favorites )

What does the Harry Potter series say about mothering? Lily's self-sacrifice was magic because it was universal: any mother would die to protect her child. But what about the rest of us -- the caretakers who do the daily drudgework of keeping a child alive, and keeping the self alive for the child? Whether it's about Snape protecting an enemy's son, Petunia and her unwanted nephew, or a suicidally depressed single mother, Rowling permeates her series with stories about how it feels to be the Mother Who Lived.

Dark Marks: A Serious Consideration

by janus

2 Ratings, 0 Likes, 0 Favorites )

An personal exploration of the Dark Mark.

There are no warnings for Dark Ideas, but this contains them as well as expression of my religious beliefs. I realise others have different beliefs whose meaning I deeply appreciate. I celebrate meaning wherever it may be found and I mean no disrespect. I do not expect in presenting my beliefs to represent or challenge those of anyone else'.
