t.o.w. the end of an era

Has it been 17 years already?

How the hell Ms Jo managed to write 7 fascinating books in the span of 17 years and yet ultimately have everything fall into place is way beyond me.

But this is the end, or rather, the close. Voldy dies, Harry survives, marries Ginny and has kids - one named Albus Severus Potter - the middle name stemming from Snape who, to my utmost disbelief, has always been on the un-dark side. I hope I didn't spoil the ending for anyone. If I did, you just have to blame yourself for READING SO SLOWLY. I am quite pissed. 2 days into the release of the book and no one is ready to discuss the plot with me. Very upset. And you mudbloods dare say you grew up with Potter. Goblins...

But anyway, I don't know if HPATDH was my favourite book in the end but it was most different from the other school-based settings. The final battle at Hogwarts was epic and really should have been the only way to end the book. To have everyone come back, take sides and duel is perfect, most perfect. =)

So thats the end then! Happily ever after, after all these years. I cheered as the trio battled the many defences of the Philosopher's Stone, cringed at the idea of a Basilisk roaming the castle grounds in Chamber of Secrets, was amazed by the twists and turns of Prisoner of Azkaban, impressed with the ending of Goblet of Fire that paved way for the stories to come, flipped each page with my eyes glued to every word during the duel at the Ministry in Order of the Phoenix, could not believe that Snape killed Dumbledore in Half-blood Prince and finally, stared in disbelief at the very last word of the series in Deathly Hallows.

I say to hell with Potter, the chosen one. I revere Ms Jo. To have come up with such a magnificent concept that eons of children all over the world will fall in love with and stay loyal to for 17 years is magic beyond magic.

Now that the end has come, I guess the only relief is that thousands more children will begin to come of age and lay their hands on these 7 Horcruxes - books that store souls of faith, love, hope, friendship and kinship. And the best thing is that unlike those of us who grew up with Potter, these kids will have all 7 treasures in front of them when they read!

All hail Queen Jo!

EXPECTO PATRONUM!!!

Sorry, I couldnt resist. =)
