This is pretty much how I feel...
This is Stephen King's writings:
When it comes to Harry, part of me a fairly large part, actually can hardly bear to say goodbye. I'd guess that J.K. Rowling feels the same, although I'd also guess those feelings are mingled with the relief of knowing that the work is finally done, for better or worse.
And I'm a grown-up, for God's sake a damn Muggle! Think how it must be for all the kids who were 8 when Harry debuted in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, with its cartoon jacket and modest (500 copies) first edition. Those kids are now 18, and when they close the final book, they will be in some measure closing the book on their own childhoods magic summers spent in the porch swing, or reading under the covers at camp with flashlights in hand, or listening to Jim Dale's recordings on long drives to see Grandma in Cincinnati or Uncle Bob in Wichita. My advice to families containing Harry Potter readers: Stock up on the Kleenex. You're gonna need it. It's all made worse by one unavoidable fact: It's not just Harry. It's time to say goodbye to the whole cast, from Moaning Myrtle to Scabbers the rat (a.k.a. Wormtail). Which leads to an interesting question will the final volume satisfy Harry's longtime (and very devoted) readers?
I was in 6th grade when I started reading Harry Potter. I remember riding in the car and reading those books. I remember first reading the first book on my new couch for our fairly new family room. I remember sitting up at night, sneaking a read before my parents yelled at me to go to bed.
OMG. I'm so pathetic that I'm actually tearing up right now.
I need to read those books again. OMG
I can't believe it's almost over.
