To suffer is as human as to breathe.” [Harry, il n'existe pas de réponse parfaite dans ce monde désordonné et régi par les émotions. La perfection est hors de portée de l'humanité, hors de portée de la magie. Dans chaque moment étincelant de bonheur, on retrouve cette larme de poison : savoir que la souffrance reviendra.
