Quintessence: a Quest for the Heart's Desire

[i_autumnheart]

A week out from Deathly Hallows, and I have moved on from the mad-fangirling stage to a more analytical frame of mind, ably inspired by people like stmargarets and psychic_serpent who are the Queens of Meta among the journals that I usually read

Wow. Um. Cool!
I wanna be able to write essays like this! :)

Oh. Sorry. Forgot to add that I'll add my thoughts on it later when i have more time. You know, you could post this over at the comm... *wink*

Procrastination invokes miraculous powers of doing other stuff :) Took me hours to write!

I don't think there's anyone over on the comm that isn't already here, is there? I'll post a link perhaps - for now, I'd like to keep any comments in one place, and I want this to be visisble to the rest of my Flist as well.

I'll look forward to your thoughts on this - I was on a bit of a roll, so there are probably holes all through my arguments :)

Women and time are always connected symbolically - the monthly cycle, the ability to be part of the creation process - it makes sense. So it makes sense that Hermione as the only female in the trio would be connected to this concept. I forgot about Hermione slowing Harry down (on his way to death) that's a fascinating angle.

Thanks for this! Lots of food for thought here.
