Bring Sirius Black Back into the Harry Potter Series

Dear people,
In the last portion of the book Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the character Sirius Black (Harry Potters godfather) was killed off. His death has caused great sorrow in the readers and fans of the Harry Potter series.

Young adults and children have enough sorrow and pain in their lives. These young people choose to escape their present issues in many unwholesome and destructive ways. On the other hand some escape through TV, music and the books they read. The Harry Potter series has acquired many fans worldwide and has inspired these youngsters with hope and faith.

Those of you who have read the books have come to know that the Harrys life is not the best one. He is faced with trials of strength and of character that most would hope not to undergo, but has overcome the lot, except the death of Sirius Black. Harry is an orphaned child who very much misses and desires the counsel and affection of a parental figure, until Sirius came along in the third book of the series Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Sirius part was that of a father/brother and helped fulfill his need for parents. Harry came to love and trust him and had hope even though (as many young people feel) his situation seemed bleak.

Kids today need a sense of hope and if they dont get it from the media then where will they get it? The most recent of the HP books is dark and bleak most of the way through, which in itself is depressing, but the death of Sirius Black is just a step too far. Harry is miserable enough as it is, but killing Sirius makes his life unbearable. Even though Harrys life is tough, he still had hope and that was in Sirius, even if Harry overcomes his death, he will forever be scarred by the loss of any parentage he ever had.

All is not lost though. If enough of us state our concern about his death and its effect on young people to JK Rowling (the author of the Harry Potter series) then it is our (and when I say our, I speak for many people who I have spoken to concerning this issue) belief that there is a way for her to bring him back into the lives of the characters in the HP books.

My proposal is this: If you feel that the death of Sirius Black is grievous and is devastating to youth around the world and want to see JK Rowling bring him back in the sixth book, then please sign this petition to BRING HIM BACK!
