In Deathly Hallows, J.K. Rowling enacts her late-breaking cop-out via a very long, wise talk between Harry and Dumbledore, whose wisdom has always been a wee bit fortune-cookieish. Here is an abridged sampling:
“To the well- organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.”
“Humans do have a knack of choosing precisely those things that are worst for them.”
“The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution.”
“It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”
“Harry, in a way, you did see your father last night … You found him inside yourself.”
