Smart’s Blog

 Yes, makes sense doesn’t it? Well, actually it does….. So, again we were asked to do a blog post about something. This time, another blog. I tried to come up with things, starting with penguins, of course. But nothing was really interesting. Next, I was looking at my desk, and saw a calculator! So, I tried that, but again nothing really interested me. Again, I looked around and saw my guitar! Searched that, but it only said things about how to play, not really interesting. Then, almost giving up for the night, I looked at my Harry Potter Shelf( Please, dont ask) and saw Hedwig! I made Hedwig in plastics, and he’s awesome. SO! I searched blogs about Hedwig, and yes! Came across a blog about Harry Potter Owls. A read a few of them, and came across Hedwigs pages. After reading it, I knew this was the blog I needed to do my post on!
        ***Warning, this contains spoilers, but seriously, if you haven’t read the last book by now, you obviously probably could care less, so go right ahead and read!***

Ok, so I thought this was a good blog. It explained how the writer felt about Hedwig(Harry’s Snowy Owl) and what happened to her in the last book. I learned that I agreed with how Hedwig died should have been changed. At first, I was OK, of course sad. But now reading it, it made me realize there are better ways for her to die, and ways that she should have died.
 

“If JKR wanted to kill the owl in that first battle to make sure readers knew how serious this war would be (as Spielberg did with the golden retriever getting offed in Jaws), she could have had Harry release her to Hogwarts when the seven Potters left the Dursley’s house, and the released Hedwig could have turned around when Voldemort was pursuing Harry, sink her talons into his wand arm while he was aiming, and go down in a blaze of glory trying to save her boy, rather than as an impotent prisoner reduced to a pile of singed feathers at the bottom of a cage.”

    Like I said, I totally agree with her and learned that she should have died in a better way. It is important to realize this, because knowing JRK, she is always coming up with creative way of doing certain things. But this time, she just let Hedwig….well…die in a plain way. 
       Like I said, this blog was really cool, and stated some things I didn’t know before (surprsingly) about Harry Potter and his trusty Owl, Hedwig. If you like Hedwig, or any other owls of the Harry Potter World , check this blog out at this place.    I left this person a comment saying
“I love this blog! It has a bunch of things I didn’t know about Hedwig, and I totally agree with you about how she died. There are so many other ways for he to die, but JKR made it simple. Im checking out the other posts about the other owl…..Pig is definetly next! Keep up the great job!”
