All Is Well.The Harry Potter film franchise ends on a dark high note

FOR THE MILLIONS OF KIDS WHO GREW up reading the books and seeing the movies—and for the rest of us, thrown into an imaginary and enthralling adolescence—the wizarding world of Harry Potter was an alternate educational universe. We could play hooky from the cares of our lives by matriculating at Hog-warts School as the permanent pals of the Boy Who Lived. He grew from childhood to early maturity playing Quidditch (ah, the innocence of those first years!), cramming for the Charms finals and preparing to confront the Dark Lord Voldemort, that most powerful creature, whose mission was to kill Harry. All that time, we were at the lad's side, in a reader's or movie watcher's invisibility cloak, hoping Harry knew he could rely on the loyalty of his very dearest friends: Ron, Hermione and us.
