In the book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, I believe the theme is courage. A theme statement that would sum up the story very well would be, gaining courage over time helps conquer all. This means that courage comes naturally and may take time to show in ones person. Once achieved, courage gives someone the bravery to overcome anything and face it. One reason that I believe courage is definitely the them of the story since Harry is a part of the Gryffindor house at Hogwarts. The famous characteristic of that house being courage and bravery (671). One other reason is near the end of the plot, Harry has to use his courage to face Voldemort and die, which is by all means, a very hard thing to do (700). Courage is used in the story to express how Harry was able to defeat the Dark Lord and stand up to him. Even though we don't have "Dark Lords," courage is still necessary in the real world. Without courage, no one would protest, fearing what would happen to them if the government caught them and decided to punish them. Courage can gift one to power to stand up to tyrannical rulers, to plead for unjust laws to be impeached. Anyways, the lesson to be learned here is that courage is needed in everyday lives, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows creates a dramatic way of showing it.
