It just seems appropriate that today is the eleventh day of May. I've been re-reading (once again) the entire set of Harry Potter books to (once again) attempt to put together the pieces of this very intriguing puzzle. One thing I've noticed is J.K. Rowling's repeated use of the number eleven. It shows up everywhere: Harry and his father each had an eleven inch wand, Harry was eleven years old when he started at Hogwarts, Voldemort was in power for eleven years, Harry stayed in Room Eleven at the Leaky Cauldron, everything seems to happen at eleven o'clock... The list goes on and on. What significance this number has in the final book is still unknown to me.
The one thing I do know is that Rowling has been meticulous with the details in the Harry Potter books. It seems like every little thing that's mentioned has something to do with an event that happens later. So, the number eleven could mean...that there are really eleven books??? Wishful thinking, I know...but wouldn't that be fantastic?!
