So, apparently there's this new symbol on the cover of the children's version of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This symbol has intrigued most people and although, when searched, it seems as though it is the symbol for TRUTH, and many wonder how it plays into the Harry Potter saga and what exactly it's purpose is. (I'm going to try to post the pic in here (^ there it is! ^) so you can understand what I'm talking about) I'm going to give just a few of my opinions on it because I'm a nerd, and it sounds like fun.
First off, the symbol is basically a triangle with a circle inside that seems to be split in half by a line from the top point of the triangle that falls down to bisect the base of the triangle. I have no interpretations for this line. What does it mean? Is it the line between good and evil? Although good and evil are complete opposites, does this line reflect the fact that they will always coincide and therefore, MUST in order to coexist? Then we look at the circle and the three points of the triangle. I am reminded of the show Alias and the symbol of Rambaldi that Irina (Sydney's mother, if you don't watch the show...which you SHOULD because it's amazing) relates to her and her life. The symbol of Rambaldi looks like this, basically: <0>. Now, describing this symbol, she refers to the two arrows/triangles as representations of her two daughters, Sydney and Nadia. Then she says that the circle represents the power with which they will do great battle over. Now, if we relate this theory SOMEWHAT to the symbol found on the Harry Potter cover, I am saying that perhaps the circle is the force/power with which the three points of the triangle will fight/defeat. I am totally assuming here when I name the three points Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Harry being the top of the triangle, and Ron and Hermione being the feet. It seems to me that the line down the middle from the top point (Harry) could also symbolize the fact that he is the only one who can really 'crack'/kill the circle (Lord Voldemort). However, I am then thinking that PERHAPS the circle represents power itself and PERHAPS Voldemort, Harry, and Neville are the three points that end up fighting for it. I'm not saying that Harry and Neville fight against each other. I'm simply saying that these 3 characters are becoming the most important, it seems, in the fight to the end. But then again, I do enjoy the idea of the points being referred to as Harry, Hermione, and Ron, because through the years, these three have become the representation of the perfect team. Ron and Hermione have always been the backbone and the force that holds up Harry (i.e. the 'feet' of the triangle that support the top point). Especially when we leave the 6th book, Hermione and Ron vow to be right next to Harry in his decision to either stay or leave Hogwarts to go find and fight Voldemort. I do believe that it will be the strength from these two that will get Harry to the finish line and probably save him. As we know, his love and emotions for others is, yes, his weakness, but it is, in fact, his strength and possibly, the only thing that will be able to save him in the end.
Anyways, this is my theory on the symbol and I do enjoy theorizing about stuff like this!!! Also, I really like this symbol. I'm wondering how I can relate it to something in my life because I would LOVE to get this as my next tattoo. Perhaps I shall be back to discuss the way this symbol is related to MY life and the power within me...who knows!!
