As I have read through all the books, and in particular this last one I have come to feel that I fully know Harry. As I watch and live his struggles with him I can’t help but notice how he has grown and developed into the man that he is at the end of the book. Perhaps the best way and most certainly the easiest way, to view his growth, can be seen in his relationship with his closest friends as he tries to cope with his own destiny. He struggles with his own stubbornness throughout the majority of these books, and he seems to have a revelation in the first quarter of this last one, that no matter how badly he would like to go it alone it is ok if he confides in others. His friends have made his journey monumentally more bearable and yet monumentally more frightening at the same time. While he now has the help and companionship that he needs to fulfill his mission he also has to deal with his desire to protect his friends as well as to trust their judgments. The book concludes with him facing his enemy alone one on one, however, it is clear that he never would have made it past the first trial, let alone all the way to his final showdown, with out the help of everyone of his friends. I believe this final book shows the true value of friendship through almost every possible trial.
