Elevator Music?

I woke today to find Deathly Hallows lying next to me.

It stunned me. Here it was, all pretty and black with its embossed gold words. Like all the copies before whose covers hasn't been ripped off by my sister yet.

It followed all the old cliches, revolved around an all familiar theme. Yet,no one can deny that Harry has left its significant mark on the literary world. It motivated children to read, gave the Young Adults section a new sort of respect.

Words and ideas mean so much.

I have actually been thinking about how to say goodbye to the series for over a year now. How do you say that to a series that you have been reading since Enid Blyton's stories got repetitive?

Theories have been ricocheting off everywhere before the release of Deathly Hollows. Strangely enough, most of what everyone predicted came true in the way that you know that the pool water is ice cold but still surprised when you actually plunge into it.

The last book of the series didn't move me to tears, it didn't make me laugh.I think i may never ever read a Harry Potter book cover to cover for the millionth time ever again. It won't be the same, knowing the ending and everything but in all the time done waiting for the actual final book, compelled me to really venture beyond Harry.

Quite honestly,if we lived in a fair world, there would be books that should be welcomed with the same fanfare as a new book by Jo.

There will be minors spoilers in this segment of my post.

Loads of people get killed in the book. Not only two. It would be a tussle of heartstrings as readers will be the judge of which characters they considered the closest to them, thereby determining the importance of the loss.

It was scary to remember how vulnerable Voldermort was. How really, he could be a grandfather.

The ending part was the best but i don't hold too much affection for the epilogue because,
Albus Severus anyone? Wtf. Rowling definitely drunk too much champagne when she came up with that name.

End of Spoiler


Harry Potter has woven a tapestry of voices not only within it but in the Muggle world as well. It has built communities,forged friendships, left a solid imprint even to those who might never read it.

Harry was part of the big picture. The big picture that didn't only belong to him but to everyone who has felt what a fantastic story can do. For that a huge credit must be given to the author who has given us the boy wizard.

Thank you JK Rowling.
