My thoughts on DH

Jul 23, 2007 09:03

Well, firstly let me tell you all that I was a bundle of nerves last week.
I succeeded in irritating everyone from my colleagues to my sister.
LOL Up until 2 hours before the release, that is, when suddenly I was as calm as I have ever been. But who knows if it was calmness or me being terrified.
I even tried bribing an assistant at Exclusive Books to give it to me before time, but the bugger was more afraid of being prosecuted. Hello! Prosecution Vs Raging HP Fanatic. I'd have gone with prosecution myself.

I got myself into the queue early, and Thank God I did, because 10 minutes later, i looked behind me and the queue had extended way out of the bookshop. I was really impressed with the turnout. When HBP was out, it wasn't as good as this. And everybody dressed up. We had this really great Hagrid, lots of Harry's and Hermiones. Was awesome!!! You must remember that I am South African, here the only things that get sooo much hype are rugby and cricket!

I drove like the wind to get home, which was about a 5-10 min drive from the mall. I started reading at about 1:30am. I couldn't put it down.... I finished reading it at 11h30.



My heart broke
When Ron had to face the horcrux in that forest. OMG. My poor Ronniekins. I cried and cried and cried so much that I couldn't read on

I was terrified
At Godrics Hollow when Bathilda/Nagini got Hermione and Harry to go along with it. It was sooo creepy, and it had such an air of evil. Very scary!

I squeeeeed
At all the Ron-Hermione moments! The Kiss!!!!!! Oh My God!!!!! How I wished I was Hermione then!

I was astounded
At what the Deathly Hallows where. Unbelievable. Never in my wildest dreams!

I had to force myself to read on
When I read the bit about Harry being the 7th Horcrux. My blood ran cold. I didn't realize how much I cared for Harry until that point. The thought of him dying was almost too much for me to bear

I was devastated
At the deaths. Dobby. *cries*
Fred *howls* I was so afraid that she would do this, because this is just soo cruel. So very cruel. How could you, Jo!!
Lupin *Screams!!!!!! and Howls!!!!!! and Cries!!! Nooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Lupin was and will always reamin one of my favourites. He is the kind of man I want in my life. While I can understand why she killed him (I lie, I don't!!!!).... I am glad (in a way) that Tonks went with him. Her living and him dead... she loved him more than her own life. And he living and her dead... It would have been too much for him!

*stops and wipes the tears streaming down my face*

Theres so much more I want to say.

Harry Potter has been such a part of my life. I can't believe that it's over. I refuse to let it be over. My life has been so enriched by this series. I've grown up so much, because of the people I've met.

One day I will tell you all the sad story!

Thank you JK Rowling for giving us this magic. My life would not be the same. I am forever indebted to you!

*wipes more tears!*
