Psychological Analysis: As you can see, Track 1 is a sobering reminder of Mr. Potter's incredibly difficult and tragic past. He is obviously (and understandably) having some trouble dealing with the deaths of all those whom he has lost. Tracks 5, 7, 8, 14, 15, 17, 18, and 20 all seem to deal with the theme of difficulty, loss and tragedy. However, it is encouraging to see that young Harry has chosen tracks like numbers 3 and 4, which are almost defiant statements, just like Tracks 9 and 19. Track 10 is interesting in that it most likely refers to the fact that Harry is the only known survivor of the Killing Curse, and including number 11 is certainly worth noting; whether reluctant or not, Harry Potter is a hero and needs to be if he is to save the wizarding world. Harry seems to know that he has an important mission, and, thankfully, a few of the songs that he has chosen are songs of empowerment. Anyone who knows Harry knows that his friendship with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger is one the most important things in his life, so it's lovely to see that he has included Track 16 and given his friends some credit for helping him accomplish all the incredible things he has been able to in his young life. Also, in Track 22, we see that Harry is proud of his Quidditch abilities, and this positivity in the face of tragedy is a wonderful sign. Track 24 refers to those green eyes, just like his mother's, that everyone remarks on, and the playlist officially ends with the brutally honest "I Stand Alone," because Harry Potter realizes that in order to fulfill the prophecy, he does indeed stand alone. Let us hope that things start improving for poor Harry in the near future and that the next time I sneak a peak at his song list, there will be happier tunes for his listening pleasure!
Author's Note: Hey guys...weird idea, I know. Let me know what you think about it though, and if I get enough reviews, I've got some other songs in mind for the other characters. One more thing...if you have any song suggestions for any characters please let me know! Thanks a lot and don't forget to review! I'll be sure to return the favor!
Disclaimer: The songs, the characters...Not mine. But I did come up with the songs on my own...that should count for something... :)
