so this happened.
they were really gross - as they were meant to be.
Ultimately there’s an echo of what Lily did, quite a conscience echo, right at the start of the story, at the very end of the story. At the start of the story Lily dies to keep her son alive. At the end of the story Harry lies to be pretending to be dead on the ground and it’s a mother who saves him again because she’s trying to get to her own son. That was closing a circle. He was saved by Lily and saved by Narcissa.

If only he had died like Hedwig, so quickly he would not have known it happened. Or if he could have launched himself in front of a wand to save someone he loved… He envied even his parents’ deaths now. This cold-blooded walk to his own destruction would require a different kind of bravery.
Dan: There’s basically one Hedwig per film. Like, the last one was Gizmo, and now he’s been retired, and now we have Sprout playing Hedwig. Sprout’s Hedwig this time, but me and Gizmo had this thing going. We were cool. We were friends. And because Sprout was really a bit of a drama queen. He would kind of sit there, and when he waasn’t being used, you could look down, and he was going… He was kind of giving Gizmo the evil eye. He was a jealous owl.
I constantly refer to Daniel kind of being the inspiration. He really was, man - ‘cause he’s there every day. 16 hours a day. And when he’s told that he can go home, he hangs around for morale and makes sure everyone’s in good spirits. Yeah, I mean, one day he was Maggie Smith’s P.A., I think just for the fun of being on the set. He’s such an inspiration, especially for all the kids that still call us. I had an eighth of his workload and yet, I was still finding myself getting stressed out. He was a constant reminder to be grateful.
So he’s the hero on the set, as well?
Yeah! He really was! It’s very fitting. Daniel is, basically, Harry. He is the hero, for sure. (x)
#daniel thought he was playing harry potter but it was actually harry playing daniel
