Chapter 1384: Chapter 1150 Yi An, Come Out and Clear Your Name_2

The title already makes it clear that Yi An is a fan of the Harry Potter series.

The main body of the article reads:

[Even in the sixth book, where important characters die and the protagonist faces a critical turning point, Chu Kuang still leisurely describes Quidditch, the festivals still happen, and the classes must still be attended. Because this series isn’t just about the story; it’s about another kind of life.

It’s not about how Harry defeated the Dark Lord.

It’s about how Harry grew over these years.

That’s right.

It’s still all about the theme of “growth.”

We saw in the Harry Potter series the most despair-inducing storyline since its debut.

The other volumes always left a glimmer of hope, but with Dumbledore’s death and Snape’s gut-wrenching betrayal, the ending leaves us with an enormous question mark.

Voldemort is the Wizarding World’s most terrifying opponent.

How can Harry, still a young boy who hasn’t graduated from Hogwarts, confront him without the support of the older generation?

This is the most torturous aspect for the readers.

Whether you admit it or not.

This torment even surpasses the significance of Dumbledore’s death itself.

Because all along, Dumbledore had been the impassable barrier to Voldemort!

Without the fear of Dumbledore, Voldemort becomes unstoppable.

Although in the narrative of this growth story, Dumbledore’s death was inevitable.

Remember this.

Dumbledore’s image had been built up as omnipotent in the first five books.

Even in the fifth book, and the first half of the sixth, he still held a power far greater than the final villain, Voldemort.

For Harry to truly grow, Dumbledore had to die.

Only with Dumbledore’s death could the authority of magic truly dissolve.

Killing Voldemort transformed into the ultimate ritual Harry and his friends had to complete.

Once the conclusion is certain, and the causes and groundwork are written, the development is inevitable.

Everyone feels the pain.

We all love Dumbledore.

Dumbledore said, “People find it easy to forgive others’ mistakes, but it’s hard to forgive others for being right.”

We lament:

Dumbledore is still so wise, and this is how he describes the truth that Harry Potter speaks of.

Yet the world is just like this.

This is still a piece of children’s literature.

I always feel Chu Kuang often addresses death in her books to allow the children reading them—or the so-called adults too—to have a more comprehensive view of the world.

The Wizarding World and the human world are no different.

Nobility and baseness, death and love, and that soul-crushing hatred.

Chu Kuang succeeded.

When Harry expressed this sentiment:

“Being dragged into the arena to face a life-and-death struggle is different from walking in with your head held high. Some may say there’s no difference, but Dumbledore knew—I know, my parents knew—this is the crucial difference in the world.”

As readers, we should also understand:

In the post-Dumbledore era, Harry has truly begun to grow up; he will walk into the arena with his friends, shoulders squared, to face a life-and-death struggle.

He will.

Because this is the meaning of growth.

That’s it.]

…

Inevitable death!

This is Yi An’s conclusion on Dumbledore’s death.

Unlike the mainstream criticisms, this is an exceptionally rational voice.

Hu Ji saw it.

Many people saw it too.

Some of them know Yi An;

Others, like those from Zhong Continent, are unfamiliar with Yi An.

But this article, or more specifically, this review, ultimately showcased its significance.

Some relatively calm readers, or readers who weren’t initially calm but began to think after reading the article, couldn’t help but give it a like.

“Well said. Who is this person? I’m a fan now.”

“Big-shot Yi An, let’s get acquainted.”

“Turns out it’s Yi An the GOAT. Haven’t seen Teacher Yi An speak for a long time. These words certainly brought me comfort, truly the old rascal Chu Kuang’s cleaning goblin. This time, she made the old rascal spotless again.”

“Dumbledore was killed by the plot.”

“When Dumbledore was alive, killing Voldemort was the theme of the novel and his mission. But his death turns the act of killing Voldemort into a ritual that has to be completed. This isn’t just about Harry nor Dumbledore, but a trial that the entire Wizarding World must face.”

“But it’s still so painful.”

“Who’s going to die in the next book?”

“Dumbledore and Sirius are both dead. Is Hermione or Ron next on the chopping block?”

“With Chu Kuang’s tendency, that’s very likely.”

“Because you should have noticed that the roles who die are becoming increasingly significant.”

“Please no!”

“But who do you think, other than the main trio, could carry the weight compared to Dumbledore’s death?”

“If one of the trio doesn’t die, who else’s death could be impactful enough to rival Dumbledore’s?”

…

Hu Ji finished reading and felt emotional.

Teacher Yi An truly deserves to be Chu Kuang’s long-time fan, always able to cut straight to the heart of the matter.

Hu Ji even felt:

Yi An might be the reader who understands Chu Kuang the best!

Suddenly.

Hu Ji couldn’t help but type a comment to ask: “What does Teacher Yi An think about Snape’s betrayal?”

After all, the heartbreak remains unresolved.

Snape is still Hu Ji’s favorite character.

No matter what, he just couldn’t bring himself to hate Snape.

Hu Ji didn’t know whether it was his own worldview that was flawed, which left him confused and eager to find answers.

He always felt:

Snape couldn’t possibly be a villain.

This sentiment wasn’t limited to Hu Ji alone.

When browsing various reviews, Hu Ji saw comments expressing similar thoughts.

However, Hu Ji didn’t expect Yi An to reply to him.

There were simply too many people commenting on her posts.

But then a notification popped up.

Hu Ji was stunned and overjoyed to discover that a big-shot like Yi An had actually noticed his comment and personally replied to him!

Yi An responded:

“Don’t forget Dumbledore’s words to Snape until the very end. He pleaded with Snape, Severus, I beg you. But was Dumbledore the type to fear death?”

Indeed.

Why did Dumbledore beg Snape?

Plead with Snape not to kill him?

In a situation where death was inevitable, what was the point of begging?

Or is it…

Did Dumbledore just not want Snape’s hands stained with his blood?

Just like he didn’t want Malfoy to be the one to kill him?

Yi An’s reply.

Plunged Hu Ji into deep thought.

And other netizens also saw Yi An’s reply.

However.

Unlike Yi An’s previous compelling analyses.

This time.

Only a minority of readers, like Hu Ji, seriously considered the deeper meaning behind her words.

The majority of readers no longer agreed with Yi An’s interpretation!

This Yi An!

The earlier analyses were spot-on, but when it came to Snape, total nonsense!

Another Snape fan?

No wonder the article didn’t mention Snape at all!

You’re cleaning up for the old rascal, but now you want to clean up Snape too?

Immediately, many people replied to Yi An expressing their disagreement!

The highest-rated reply was filled with indignation:

“We agree with everything you said earlier, but we cannot accept any form of whitewashing for Snape!”

Whitewashing?

Lin Yuan, using the Yi An account, saw this highly rated comment but didn’t reply further.

The plot carries more weight than any written words.

He was about to write “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.”

The series was approaching its middle phase, and the grand finale of the Harry Potter series was about to begin!
