It's amazing how many times Harry Potter pops up in every day life. Today, for example, I got involved in a discussion of some ceremonial coins the local university has decided to give to each graduate this year and someone said that it's a great idea, as long as you can use them to communicate with other graduates like Dumbledore's Army did with Hermione's special Galleons.
And in another discussion, several of us agreed that there is a certain feeling of calmness you can achieve even in the most dire situations if you know that there is nothing you can do to change the outcome, a serenity like Harry finds as he walks into the Forbidden Forest to die under Voldemort's wand.
These comparisons came up naturally each time. And were made by others, not me. It's amazing how much J.K.'s world has insinuated itself into our own lives and world.
