Reflections of a stormy petrel

I do see it in context for heaven's sake and the sake of anything else sane and decent. This so-callled children's series has ended in a frightful description of tyranny unleashed and rampant, bloody civil war, and the on-screen deaths of several major characters including children. (Remember the weeping child held by Ginny during the brief ceasefire?) Perhaps if you actually looked at the heptad as it was, rather than place it in a prefabricated category ("children's story") you might understand what I am driving at. The epilogue completely subverts the whole direction of the story, and does so in the direction of irresponsible escapism.
