wow...
just wow.
i've finish harry potter and the deathly hallows.
all i can say is wow.
i had a cry, a very good, long well deserved cry that i needed.
i think rach said it the best when she wrote 'i was expecting to feel sad and longing when it all over, but instead i feel very complete'
my thoughts exactly.
it's weird though, rach and i were talking on aim the other day, harry potter has been such a huge part of my life. it started in my sophmore year of high school. i would go to the teaching store and see books 1-3 on display with my mom and i always looked/read them while i was there, but never bought them. then i got chronic appendictis and my mom bought all three books for me to read while i was in the hospital and healing. i was hooked. i made rach read them, she was hooked. there started my journey with harry potter. it's weird, i kind of feel like i have grown with him in someways. does this mean i'm done growing? no, i know i still have a lot to learn, but as silly as it may sound, j.k. rowling will never no how much she has helped me in life. i know i'm a complex individual and have obessions with odd things that most other people don't (i.e. hanson, harry potter) but these things all mean something special to me and have helped me through my life.
harry potter is complete. i was sophmore in high school when he entered my life in 1999 and i'm now a junior in college in 2007. six years have passed. i've experienced so much. some of it has sucked, but most of it has been wonderful.
the opening inside flap of harry potter says 'we now present the seventh and final installment in the epic tale of harry potter.' i know what happens to harry and the wonderful characters in rowling's world and i feel complete. But in my world, the epic world of katie, life is still being written and i know i have many more adventures to come.
