Harry Potter ... through the years
You know, it's really quite amusing.
I go, and I'm all excited that the final book is coming out. I'm so excited, and just in awe- thinking that finally, the wait is over and the world can finally know what happens to harry.
I'm excited as all hell, especially having seen all the movies- and realizing how much the cast has grown, along with myself. It's like a reflection of life really, being able to see these movies- and remember how as a kid, I was in such awe of the movies- and i still am. How I was just amazed, going " Whoa! Kids- just like me, on screen, acting out the heros of the books I love so much."
And I just think how next week, the story.. finally comes to an end.
And even though I would love for it to come already so I can sit down and read the book.
With all my heart, I don't want next friday to happen.
I've grown up with the harry potter series, from being an akaward little kid in elementary school, first picking up Sorcerer's Stone in 3rd grade, reading through the first four like no other- even though during 6th grade, I was at a point in a transition in my life, in which I was torn between two things.
My father and My mother, and it felt like I was being torn between good and evil- to the point where, my father had taken my paperback copy of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and burned it infront of me, my cat book mark still in it and all.
And then I finally got around to picking up the 5th book freshmen year in highschool. Which I don't think could have been anymore perfect- because I could relate to the darkness that came about in it, even if I didn't like it as much as the others. I could relate to the angst that harry was going to, because after the whole court thing, I felt so alienated from everyone, well almost, alienated from everyone except Chris, and Autumn, and Rin. They've been my closest friends, and always will be :). And just being able to see my favorite book character going through something similar to what I was going through, made me fall even more in love with the books. But it gave me a taste of Severus. He- I could relate to even more so then potter. Because potter wasn't constantly picked on. Eventually he came to Hogwarts where he was a star. But Severus.. that's another story entirely.
Then, with getting the 6th book when going to enter into 10th grade, I was able to relate to Severus Snape on such a deep level, it scared even me. To go through with dealing with an abusive/abandoning father type figure, along with how he was constantly picked on and the like during school, I don't blame him for wanting to turn to the dark side. And then, the whole notion, in the flight of the half blood prince, in which he yells at potter. " DON'T. CALL ME A COWARD!" Oh how I could never relate more. All my life, i've been like that, trying to act brave, trying to not show any sort of weakness. Trying my hardest not to be a coward. And as my closest friends know, I will act like a proud fool to not show any sort of weakness. And that has gotten me into trouble too.
But now, I sit here and I think that they just finished the 5th movie. There are only 2 more to go :/ The final book is coming out. My entire childhood I've spent growing up with this series, I've got so much emotion invested into this series, that it's like.. a chapter of my life is ending with these books. It's so depressing and sad. And I'm scared. Yeah sure, I can always reread the books, but it's not the same as reliving the magic of knowing that in a few years there's gonna be another adventure, another new book- what's in store for the gang this time? And that's just depressing
After this there's no more :/ Nothing. No more characters I've grown to love and hate, no more new adventures. No nothing. :/
I don't want it to end, with all my heart I don't want it to end :/
Potter series, god I love you. And I will miss you dearly when it's all over.
