PREVIOUS HERE A lot of people have a lot of opinions as to the way this story should go, and obviously I won’t be able to please everybody at once, so I hope no one is too upset by what I’ve chosen to do. Harry’s children will be involved at some point (Lily hasn’t been conceived yet, and won’t be since Harry is in Mirkwood at the time) but our favourite couple will have their happily ever after, don’t worry.
As to Thranduil’s behaviour: the theory is that as the darkness spreads through Mirkwood, it affects the King. My belief is that since Harry met Thranduil six months before Dol Guldur’s forces made themselves known, he was less affected in those six months than he was by the end of the second film. Also, it’s been about 6 years since I read the book, so movie!verse for the most part. He has his moments of insanity, but that comes I think from old age, (according to wiki he’s about 6000 give or take) and one of the Firstborn, rather than from an actual desire to hurt Harry or force him to stay there.
But anyway. We’ve reached the 3rd Half Quarter. Only a month to go until the Fall Equinox/Durin’s Day. Enjoy.
