Ok, i think that the veil is the afterlife and one can be lost forever by just going through it n there's no way out bc i think jk has made it clear that sirius i dead and will not and cannot be brought bak. after reading some of the other posts, i realized some stuff i agree with thos who say that jk might be foreshadowing ron's death (nooooo, *tear*) n since sirius already died ron might to (i am referring to the part in the book where harry says "is that u Ron/ Sirius?" ) and also i think its interesting how someone pointed out that the steps by the veil may be to signify that perhaps wizards would sit on the steps and it would be some sort of spectacle. And i am also wonderin y only Harry and Luna could hear the ppl, and i was also wonderin about the convo they had during the last feast of the year. Well thats wat i think and i hope jk doesnt kill of ron.
