Harry Potter and Elephants

This piece is interesting in the way it parallels the story of Harry Potter. I am mostly confused about why the author wrote it. It seems that the author is trying to give the story and animalistic feel, that she is connecting the story to nature. After her opening about elephants in the savanah, Giovanni broke into another section. After reading this section it made me think of helping someone in need. She listed tragedies and then immediatley told of Harry’s own tragedy and need for help. This was interesting because of how it contrasted with the first section. Then finally in the third section she gives a Harry a happy ever after. She shows him sitting with a muggle woman, his wife maybe as he talks about his past. Having read the series I did not think this was how it would end and imagined it more as the book told it, but I appreciated her side of it also.
