End of the series.

 Well I went to see the last Harry Potter film this past afternoon. I suppose I enjoyed myself, I was with really good friends and thoroughly enjoyed the film. In fact, I can say that it definitely took a bit out of me, having finished it. But maybe that's because I was there for 2 hours. I don't really know to be completely honest. However, I do see a lot of fans talking about it's the end of their childhood and all of that, as well as how people were weeping so hard about how there would be no more Harry Potter, no more books or films. Just Pottermore to look forward to.I wish I could say I relate, but I can't really. I got into the series and therefore I recognize that this last film is the end of an era so to speak. Still I'm sure I have nothing significant particular that I won't be able to move on in short order. I, I just wasn't all that attached to Harry Potter I suppose. I liked the characters well enough, I liked the books and what films I did see. But I can't say that my life depended on it, nor my childhood really. So it's a strange feeling to see so many people online rather emotional about the whole thing and all I can think is "Well, it's over. That was fine enough." I don't know if I should feel bad for that, since I have a tendency to feel bad for a lot of things in fandom that I really don't care about, that I fine myself rather detached. Even in my focus of fandom attention, I still consider myself a fringe fan of sorts as I really can't see myself caring much about everything really. I have the things I like, I have my dreams but it's all very private, which kind of contributes to my reluctance to share my headcanon, which is rather particular and I don't have a lot of confidence in doing so. But I think that's another matter. I think I've just been rambling on about nothing which I just like to do every now and again. So there's that.  Maybe I'll write a prompt sometime. -off topic is off topic-
