...finally addressed the crisis in televised remarks last Thursday, Chirac avoided finger pointing, instead emphasizing that "family solidarity [and] respect for the aged and handicapped" are necessary to avoid future tragedies.

Harry is showing the mental scars of having been hunted and harried for four straight years, and the rage and fear he feels will strike a chord with any reader, adult or child. "You don't know what it's like!" he shrieks at Ron and Hermione. "You--neither of you--you've never had to face him, have you?" No, they don't know what it's like...
