The Deathly Hallows
I went to a Harry Potter party with my nephew on Friday night/Saturday morning. I got my copy at 12:42 AM. I finished it earlier this evening, and my heart is swelling.
I've never been so moved by a book, never. I cried with sorrow and with joy. People I loved died, and people I hated lived. It is bitter-sweet, this ending. It is not the end of Harry, but the window had been closed on Harry's story. I feel downtrodden and elated all at once. In mourning for those that are gone, and joyous at the lives that were spared.
In memoriam to the characters who I grew up with, and proved surprising friends in the worst of times.
