Now that I've gotten into the book a little farther, I see a new theme that I would like to talk about. And that theme is sacrifice. Not sacrifice like killing someone. But sacrificing yourself for someone or something. Or sacrificing something for someone or something. Not the creepy sacrifice. Yeah...
(Possible spoiler)
So in the book Harry is basically sacrificing his life for the world, along with Ron and Hermione. They must go find the horcruxes and destroy Voldemort. Now, try to think of it this way. Pretend you are Harry, and you're the one the whole world is relying on. Doesn't sound too great, does it? That was rhetorical. The answer was no. Now, obviously the world is worth one or three lives, maybe even a hundred. But you got to put yourself in their position. It's not to nice to think about.
Now if I were Harry, I would probably try to find every possible way out of it. Honestly, I would say, Screw Dumbledore, I need help! I would ask everyone to help for the horcruxes, not only me. And finally if it all came down to me again. I think I would do it, but I don't know if I would be able to do it. Not because it's impossible to make magic but mentally I would probably freak out. I don't see the realistic circumstances in this book. On the other hand, like I said before, magic is impossible. I just can't see myself doing something like that in the real world. Maybe that's just me, and there are a lot of people in this world. There's got to be many brave people. If you want risk your life for the whole world, that's fine with me. Just keep me out of it.
And in sacrifice in general, it's different. There are not everyday situations like that. But sometimes you might have to sacrifice for the better good. So overall, I think the majority always wins with sacrifices.
