3:20pm: Harry Potter And the Deathly Hallows
Well, that's the Harry Potter series over and done with. Like millions on fans around the world, I found myself waiting outside a bookshop at 11, counting down the time until I could hold my own copy of Jk's final Potter book. And what did I do once I got it? I got all flustered and to my dads' great annoyance, rambled about how I counldn't possibly read it as it would lead to the end of the series...but I did, though slowly, and with many purposeful interuptions to keep the ending at bay.
And I think I did rather well, not only did I avoid seeing the cover until I held the book in my hands, but I also read the book without flicking forwards to see chapter names or the ending.
And now, after completing the Harry Potter series I'm left feeling both elated and sadened that it's over. It really is amazing how books can draw out certain emotions. Alot of us have grown up with these characters, it's a great loss knowing that we'll never hear of their adventures anymore...
For the past year. although I've been increasingly obsessed with the books, I'm afraid to admit that my interest in the fandom has wavered somewhat, however, with the release of Deathly Hallows, and the plots coming to a close, I'm happy to say that I am jumping straigt back into writing!
Kudo to JK for a fantastic series and for inspiring both young and old writers the world over!
