My thoughts on the last Harry Potter…
I know this is really nerdy but WOW….i decided to write a blog on Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows
So part 1 is coming out on November 19 and the FINAL harry potter is coming out next July and though I’m really excited, I feel really sad about it….
when Star Wars Ep III came out in 2005, I told my sister “at least we have Harry Potter to look forward to” and after part II comes out next summer, it will be officially over….i can’t believe how fast the time has flown by…
The first harry potter came out when I was in 5th grade in 1998 and I remember the first person I knew to ever have that book was this girl named Emma Storey…she had the book on the corner of her desk…and I remember our teacher Mr. Dodd talking about the hype over it….like a little brat, I was rolling my eyes the whole time he was talking ….I thought the book looked really stupid with the skinny brunette boy on the cover with his broomstick…
Honestly, I wasn’t an actual fan of Harry Potter until my sister dragged me to see Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in 2002…I mean I read the first 2 books as book reports in middle school….but that was it..I only liked it..not loved it…but then Cynthia made me see this movie……I fell in love with Dobby the elf because he was so stupid…I remember the main title coming on the screen and me making fun of it..lol…cynthia knows what i’m talking about…
Fast-forward to 9 years later, and things have changed….I think that’s the part that really gets to me…..that Harry Potter has been a part of my life for 13 years….from the midnight book releases to the camping out for the films…..I’m going to be 22 now and it feels really appropriate that Harry Potter is ending at the time when it’s time to grow up and become an adult….Harry potter was a big part of my child hood and adolescence….and I know I’m not just speaking for myself…..we all grew up with him
And in other ways, newer generations of kids will be able to grow up with him…..I was sitting and waiting for the Eclipse midnight showing and I noticed a little girl reading Harry Potter…and I thought to myself, “hopefully Harry Potter will mean something to this girl like it has for me and my friends”…..I know that Twilight and Harry Potter get compared a lot …..and although they have nothing in common…..I can’t wait until the last Harry Potter comes out and kicks twilight’s ass! Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was my favorite book and wow…what a way to end the series…that’s for sure
I mean J K Rowling created a whole entire world of Harry Potter that was so distinct “right down to the type of currency and to the spells” (Marcela said that and she’s right)…I think that’s what makes it so special……and it will be here forever
