Harry Potter : how it really (and sadly) ends

This time for good : I'm going to spoil all the fun for those who have not yet read the last "Harry Potter".
So, fasten your seat belt, or just run and hide if you don't want to know in what unbearable pain your favorite teen-age dumb heroe dies...

No, I tell a lie. Harry Potter doesn't die. It's worse. Much, much worse.

What do you think ? Ending up in Azkaban with no hope of escaping ? (By the way, how comes this dementor things just sounds like good old-fashioned depression ? Try Xanax, Harry. They even may let you smoke or pot or two, down there. Or wait for Johhny Cash to come and sing in your jailhouse...)
Worse.

Does he take Voldemort's place ? After all the mixing of their minds, it would be an elegant solution. Think of it all : Harry's father was quite obnoxious (says vol. 5 or 6, I don't remember), Harry is in a way (which I don't remember either) Slytherine heir ; and though he pretends to be friends with Hermione, it's obvious that he sees her as a dumb, lab-rat, would-be witch, probably due to her mogul blood. His destiny may as well make him a Deatheater.
But that would be just fun, kiddo. It's nothing so nice.

Does he lose his fight against Voldemort ?
Well, obviously, that's what should happen. Harry's a failure, everybody knows.
Because if you read well all the saga, you won't but notice something : Potter never acts. I mean, he doesn't ever do a thing ; or more exactly, he goes through all his adventures without having any clue at all. Let's think about it : it takes him 5 books to understand he can fix his glasses with a spell when they're broken (Hermione does it for him, actually). And you know what ? It never occurs to him that he may fix his EYES instead. So much for magic : you can do that with a simple laser on real world. (I did it, as a matter of fact).
On he goes, short-sighted in life, love and adventure. Re-read the books if you need : on no occasion does he take a single decision, let alone a good one. So one cannot think that such a moron, being swept away by his destiny, deserve living, or even surviving his enemy.
And it would change us from all the happy-ending adventures...

But no, people. Potter doesn't end up in Azkaban, nor as Voldemort's mignon.
It's way, way worse than that.

Does he become "normal" ? Does he lose his power ?
Cut it off. He has no power at all. He can't use magic properly. Once again, all that happens to him is sheer luck, fate or whatever you call it (and the occasional help of some friends, which he treats like servants).
There is no more normal person than Harry Potter. Fate gave him a scar, a wand and an invisibility cloack, but nothing more, except for the ability of fumbling with spells, not undestanding a dick at school, and playing a game even dumber than soccer.
So, he turning out a mogul would have been a relief : at least, he couldn't have harm people with his stupidity or akwardness.
But, once again, it's worse.

How ?

Answer coming soon...



commentaire perso : je fais un petit post en Anglais pour fêter la sortie de Fair-Play et attirer plein de lecteurs bilingues. Evidemment, c'est vache pour mon seul lecteur, Yrf, qui dit avoir un peu de mal en Anglais... mais bon, je switche back to French véri soune. Peut-être même que je traduirai ce qui précède.
