Why did Lupin have to die?

Hey brother!

Boy, howdy, the Harry Potter series certainly hits us right in the stomach

on the beach with a dagger when it comes to killing off beloved characters doesn't it?

Gobby is happy to be with his friend.

Well I bet you're glad you clicked on this video.

Oh, yes. But I mean, we've got Dobby and Dumbledore and

Snape and Colin Crevy, don't even get me started on Fred.

Hedwig, Fredwig, Lave, the list goes on.

And in so many of these cases, there can often be poignant

and important symbolic things left behind

with each death, many of which could honestly

constitute videos of their own.

Henwig, for example, really marks Harry's introduction into the Wizarding world.

It's his first ever real birthday gift, which he gets from Hagrid on his 11th birthday.

But then the Battle of the Seven Potters is just days

before his 17th birthday and the loss of Hedwig marks his passage over the

threshold of childhood and into adulthood. Colin Crevy's death marks the loss of innocence

and Fred as George's twin represents losing a part of ourselves

to war.

To which I then said to him, George, I'm so sorry about this.

It kind of seemed like you had already lost the part of yourself to war.
