SUPER spoilers to those who haven't read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows yet. you've been warned! and really, if you haven't read the book, go read it! after the previous six books though, obviously.

todaaaay, in 1998, was the day Harry defeated Voldemort! well not really, more like early tomorrow morning, seeing as Harry went into King's Cross limbo past midnight, and I believe the sun came up as Voldemort was defeated...
but today in particular was sad. :[ RIP Fred Weasley, 637; Severus Snape, 658; Remus Lupin and Tonks Lupin, 661; and Colin Creevey, 694. obviously many more (about 50) died today 12 years ago... like Vincent
