OmiGod!! I just finished
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on Sunday (tee hee finished it in 2 days!) The last installment of the epic journey of the boy wizard, Harry Potter. And it ended marvelously.
When I first got my hands on the book, I've got this mixture of feelings inside of me. Part of myself is happy for finally having the book but another part of me is also sad... Seeing as it's ending. The end of it all. It's like something will be missing. Nothing to look forward to in the coming years.
I've been a fan of Harry Potter for years now. I think it started when I was 9, which was 5 years ago. Looking back, it has been the best 5 years of my life... A little bit over the top, maybe. But it's true. It's a wonderful story and there's always a message behind the 500 pages of incredible adventures.
Oh, I also realised, from reading the book, I've actually witness a boy wizard grow... The first time I read it, he was 11, now he's 17... . Emotionally, mentally etc etc. It's sort of like seeing ME grow. Cos I've practically grow with the book. Hahahaha. I can picture my self, 9 years old, sinking in the sofa, deep inside my imagination with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in my hands.
And then some 5 years later. Same old me. Just grown taller. Now in high school. Now deep inside the last installment of Harry Potter...
And it ended there. It's really amazing that book. It's ever so enchanting, don't you think?
Maybe one day, some 5-10 years in the future, I'll open my whole collection again. And start from the very beginning.
'All was well.' And so it is... =)
