today is a stormy, gloomy day. i don't mean in the real world; it's freaking hot outside right now. i mean in my soul, also known as the parallel universe of harry potter land. i know, you would think my soul would be a multi-faceted, complex thing. it's not. harry potter land pretty much sums it up.
here's why i am sad: today is the day that harry potter ends. done. i felt like this when the 7th book ended (except for a lot worse) but there were always the movies to look forward to. i have always thought about how i would feel right after seeing the 7th movie. let me tell you how i feel: not good. this is the day that harry potter officially shifts from a present phenomenon to a past phenomenon. there are no more midnight book releases. and now there are no more midnight premieres. new books will come out and new movies will show at midnight. but not for harry.
so yeah, i'm feeling kinda crummy today. but you know the upside? the movie was fantastic. everything it should have been. straight from the book. tender. emotional. epic. and mrs. weasley's famous line wasn't even edited out. how secretly happy is everyone?
and i don't care if some people forget about harry fifteen years down the road (i call them fair-weathered muggles). i will always be loyal to harry. we started our journey together in 3rd grade, and now here were are in college. it's been a wild ride. but it's not the end. my brother and i always talk about how we are going to read the books to our kids from the time they are in the crib. i want their childhood to be as magical as mine.
p.s. last night i was a death eater. no, seriously. sometimes i say i'm a death eater when i'm just really cranky, but this time, i was only a death eater in the truest sense. my permanent ink dark mark didn't wear off today, so when some boy said he didn't really like the harry potter books, i had no choice but to conjure up the dark mark in the classroom.
where it all began
