Description
ATTENTION!DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T READ DEATHLY HALLOWS!
I open at the close.
Breathing fast and hard, he stared down at it. Now that he wanted time to move as slowly as possible, he seemed to have sped up, and understanding was coming so fast it seemed to have bypassed thought. This was the close. This was the moment.
He pressed the golden metal to his lips and whispered, “I am about to die.”
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 34
My favourite chapter in Deathly Hallows.

I felt like this was one scene the book does so much better than the movie.
Because of one word.
"I am about to die" is just so much more meaningful than "I am ready to die."

This is absolutely beautiful -- he looks battle-worn, and slightly prayerful. You captured it so well!

I hate how they changed that line to "I am ready to die" in the movie. Stupid writers...

Me too. It's a completely different meaning

This chapter makes me cry every time. Not because Harry "dies" but because it's so close to the end. The end of my favourite book ever. It's the only book I've read that always comes back to haunt me, which inspires me.

AMAZING. best part. I wouldve made the snitch closed, but this is equally as amazing, since i guess noone would've guessed it was a snitch. Amazing book. Amazing drawing.

Beautiful representation of one of my favorite parts of Deathly Hallows. I love how you managed to capture incredibly strong emotions. I also like the backlighting on Harry, makes it seem like his time is running out.
