Here's another posting I did over at Leaky. This is on the Epilogue:

I've been thinking about that last line in the Epilogue, "All is well," which seems - on first glance - to be so simplistic, a nice, neat, wrap-up. Nothing flourishing, no Great Gatsby-ish ending. Just three words: All is well.

Now some have written about Julian of Norwich and her attributed writings on All is well. But what's come to my mind has been the hymn, It is Well, since it is about all being well in the midst of great suffering. Written by a man who lost his children at sea, he returns to the place where they were lost and writes:

When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

-Horatio Spafford 1873

Since so much of Deathly Hallows, and the Harry Potter series is about the state of Harry's soul, Horcuxed infested though it once was, it is now well, it is now whole. He has had his battles of the soul, the dark nights of the soul, and now all is well. The faith written in these lines were written where there had been much suffering, and certainly Harry has known that suffering as well. But the hope he had going through his suffering, covered by the blood as he was as well, has brought him to this place of joy. All is well.
