I have finished

I’ve completed the last ever installment of Harry Potter, some mysteries came to a conclusion, some I don’t think did. All in all I’m okay with how it ended. I will not give out any spoilers here, and if any one comments, leave readers to find the answers themselves. I cried, I laughed, and i’ve mentally tallied up my favorite parts of the epic to include sections of book seven. But I’m not saddened with the knowledge that there will not be a new Harry Potter book to look forward to. My fascination with the series is partly due to the expansion of the world… most of my enjoyment of the world of harry potter is the extensions i write into it, not necessarily only the dogmatic limitations. Rowling created a world we can step into and find homes in, and it is that characteristic that makes a science-fiction/fantasy story really shine out above the rest. For me it always has been… Lewis, Asimov, Herbert, Tolkien, Card… and of course in that list is Rowling and Lucas. Heck, I’m just kinda glad she didn’t end the world as it would conflict with my extensions… it took me a while when Lucas changed around my version of the Star Wars universe to settle back into the prequels… I had nearly lost my fandom until I could negotiate a settlement with my own extensions and the prequel dogma.
alas, i still must sigh with the completion of this epic. I don’t think we’ll ever hear from the magical world of Harry Potter again, but just as Harry Potter swooped into literary history, so too will another tale unravel itself for us muggles to enjoy!

Do you dare IM Me?::
