I feel like I should be making a "end of Harry Potter" post right now, as I'm leaving for the midnight screening in about 3 hours, six hours until the movie starts.
I don't know... it doesn't feel like the end... or maybe HP just never had a huge impact on me. I rebelled it at first, not wanting to get into the "popular" thing because it's cool to now like what's cool apparently *shrugs*. Anyway, I saw the movie with my school in year 6... back in 2002? It was the end of year honour students excursion (I WAS A NERD, BIG SURPRISE) and thought "ooh, that was pretty cool". I guess... all I know is I started liking it after that movie and I know I was actually against it at first xD;
I also remember two scenes that... for some reason, just really stuck. Harry jumping around in the living room trying to reach one of the millions of Hogwarts letters that had just shot out of the chimney and Hagrid standing in the doorway as the door falls the ground with a giant THUD. For some reason I remember those two scenes really well and when I saw the movie I was thinking "ohh, so that was a part of this Harry Potter craze".
Ever since then, I just know I've always been into it and Oliver Wood's always been my favourite- I don't remember noticing him or starting to like him... I only know that he's always been my favourite... hm.
So, I've never been into looking deeply into the story, pairings or theories. I never really plotted or thought about what the next book had it store. I never shipped anything or tried to predict pairings etc either. The only thing that ever came up was probably whether or not Harry'll die or whether or not Snape was evil. See there, I wasn't overly into it; I read them and I enjoyed them. But I think as I'm a pretty big fangirl, in general that is, and with "Pottermania" being what it is, I just couldn't help but craze over it. And you know, with any other fandom, the more people you have to fan with or the bigger it is; the easier it is to fan over.
I am proudly a part of the HP generation. I was 10 when I saw Harry turn 11 and enter Hogwarts for the first time. I was the same age as the main cast and grew up with them as the movies progressed. Honestly the HP series... hasn't changed my life as it has changed many others. JKR inspired me to write and that's where my fic writing and dream to publish a book came to be, but I won't try and say "IT'S TOTALLY CHANGED MY LIFE, HP FOREVER". Ehh... I don't know... it's hard to say... it's just when I think about how HP has changed my life... it kind of hasn't, haha! I, like millions of other people in the world, was inspired to read and write creative stories which will hopefully one day become a very big thing in my life.
I can't say it hasn't played a part in my life, I have a lot of wonderful memories of the HP series.
ANYWAY, I RUNNING LATE AS USUAL, SO I'M GOING TO HEAD OUT TO BEGIN MY DEATHLY HALLOWS 2 ADVENTURE. SEE YOU ALL ON THE OTHER SIDE.
