A Eulogy for Hedwig
August 16, 2007I just finished reading HP7 for the second time, at a liesurely pace this time. I realized that I forgot to mention the death of Harry's beloved owl in my post about the book. I want to make it up to Hedwig by making a post solely about her.
She has been such a sweet and efficient owl. She was the only companion to Harry during his torturous stay at the Dursley. She allowed Harry to keep in touch with his friends and with the wizarding community. It really saddened me when she got killed by a killing curse by a death eater. It saddened me more when she wasn't even given a proper burial. Her body exploded midair when Harry reluctantly cast a spell on the side car of Sirius motorbike on which her cage was placed.It's really sad that she died on the early part of the book. But her life was well spent and i'm sure she's happy wherever she is. To Hedwig, you are sorely missed but will always be remembered and forever alive in the hearts of HP fans.
