Summary

This quote suggests that the fear of a global catastrophe, such as a worldwide nuclear war, is not as prominent as the fear of regional conflicts. While the complete destruction of the world may not be perceived as a realistic threat, the quote highlights concern over specific regions like the Middle East, India, Pakistan, the Korean Peninsula, and Africa, where geopolitical tensions and border disputes raise alarm. It implies that these localized conflicts have the potential to escalate and cause significant harm, thus warranting genuine apprehension.

Luna had decorated her bedroom ceiling with five beautifully painted faces: Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Neville. They were not moving as the portraits at Hogwarts moved, but there was a certain magic about them all the same: Harry thought they breathed. What appeared to be fine golden chains wove around the pictures, linking them together, but after examining them for a minute or so, Harry realized that the chains were actually one word, repeated a thousand times in golden ink: . . . . . . . . .
