Ode to Harry Potter…

It’s over… *silently sobs*

I have watched the last movie, after a long of indecisive moments of to watch or not. I can’t bear to part with them the tears, laugh, frustrations, all boils into the ending of the movie tied-in. *emo*

I remember the first time I set eyes on your first book and like a typical book snob, all I could think of was, “Meh! Just another children book.” Didn’t even give you a chance back then. not even flipping to your back and actually read it. Yes… I admit, that was prejudice of me, but I was in the phase where I should read my age. Oh.. such mistake… *dramatically close eyes and silently lament* Then, we crossed paths when “Chamber of Secrets” appears out of nowhere. Not like *poof*, more of a reading recommendation by Amazon.com. Curiosity still didn’t peak for me… then “Prisoner of Azkaban” came along and *sigh* I’ve decided to give it a go. I finished reading it back to back through out the week.

And I never look back since…

When I heard of the first movie, I was excited… My Potter friends and I couldn’t wait, we reread “The Philosopher’s Stone”, and we remember every quote, every exchange and every scene, word by word. *Yes, we had it that bad* When the movie came, all we could think of was… WHAT HAPPENED?! Yes, we were annoyed at first, missing quotes, missing conversations, missing scenes… I remembered I was extremely annoyed with what I had call the most important conversation ever cut off from the movie! Bloody hell, I said. Yes, Ron Wesley rub off on me since then. They can’t possibly  act out the whole book, they say.. It is just impossible, they say… I remember it induce the first most extreme review meets I had with my friends. *sighs*

Memories of me being floored because Sirius died.. and Dumbledore…  Hedwig… oh my god…. Severus Snape… these names made me cry. Then, my sudden annoyed urge to slap the sense out of Harry some where along the line, and Ron.. growling at Hermione.

Yes, I am a very emotional reader.

Now you be on my shelf, maybe we cross paths for a reread one day again. But I’ll make sure to recommend you to everybody…

I’ll never say goodbye… *dramatically steps down*
