i have been a serious fan of the harry potter series since i was in high school (2001). one of my english teachers gave an extra credit assignment to write a comparison paper on the first book against the first movie. the sorcerers stone movie came out exactly one week after the assignment was given so i borrowed the book from a friend and got reading right away!! (lord knows i needed the extra credit and it was worth almost two letter grades - she was a fan lol)
i was instantly hooked! i couldn't put the books down! that christmas my parents bought me all of the books that were published to date and i was a busy gal :) by that time the first 4 books had been published and i read them all twice before the summer started. its such a wonderful escape!
then like everyone else in the world i had to eagerly await the last 3 books to come out... i signed up for amazons delivery program and each time a new book was released it was on my doorstep by noon of the same day... and then i disappeared for several days at a time! when the very last book arrived i was hesitant at first to even open it because i knew it was all going to be over... several great characters had died already and my heart wasn't ready to lose anymore... these books make me emotional - the wonder and joy was about to end...
i read the final book in less than two days... part of my soul was complete and part of it was lost forever in those pages... dramatic yes... true yes!! the harry potter series will always live on in my heart and soul and i try to recommend it to anyone i can.
if you have kids its a must for imagination :)
anyways... mark and i made our way to the theatre this past weekend to watch the final chapter come to an end officially on the big screen. it was absolutely amazing! it made me feel like a kid again (ok like i was in high school) because i had seen the very first movie in the theatre and now i was seeing the very last... it was of course... emotional :)
blimey it was bloody brilliant!!
peace & love~
