A Chapter Closed

I finished the book last night.

I was desperate to find out the ending by reading it myself so I read as fast as I could. Now I'm a bit sad because of the realization that there won't be any more books to anticipate. For the past 8 years these books have been part of my life. I know to a lot of people this may seem silly and even ridiculous. It's difficult to explain it to someone who hasn't experienced something similar. It's been more than a series of stories to me. I have patiently and not so patiently waited after each book for the next one to arrive. Harry has been with me all the time. It's sort of like saying good-bye to a good friend who has brought you great happiness and belonging. I know I can re-read them over and over again, but there will never be another time when I don't know what's going to happen in the end. I know I am not alone. There are lots of other readers feeling the same way.

Don't worry. I won't say anything about how the book ends. If you want to discuss it, though, please feel free to email me.

Let me know if you are up for seeing the movie again! I would love to have someone to go and see it with!! Zach has been gone just about every time a HP movie has come out. I told him I love him and know he is a hug fan (b/c I got him hooked), but I am finally going to see HP in a real movie theater! He's read all the books and I have yet to have the time to read a book. He even found a copy the day it came out in Afghanistan!
