Harry Potter

I know, I know, most people would think that I am way too old to be interested in Harry Potter as much as I am, but I am, I admit it, so there.

Just finished re-reading number five and number six, Five to get ready for the new movie, and Six to get ready for - I can't say it - I find it hard to type it - the end of the Harry Potter series - yes, folks, it actually does make me sad to know that she is going to stop writing about Harry after this last book. What makes me even sadder is wondering if she is going to kill him off in this last book - there are rumors -

The funniest thing is that I read an article in People magazine (yes, I actually bought a copy of that totally trashy magazine - love the picture of Matthew McConaughey on the cover so how could I resist?) about the last Harry Potter book and how to help your children deal with his death - that is - if he dies - and when I first read the title of the article, I laughed - how absolutely absurd - helping your child deal with the death of a fictional character - and then I thought - Oh NO - Harry Potter can't die - that would be absolutely terrible -

So now I wonder if she is going to "knock him off." I hope not - It would be sad - Harry Potter has become a part of our lives I guess. When I am reading his books, I feel like I am there, we are friends, I really become a part of the story. Like when she killed Dumbledore - and I know SNAPE killed Dumbledore - but did he really - well, when Dumbledore died, I cried. When I reread the first book, I cried when Hagrid showed up at the shack on the rock in the middle of the night and told Harry that he was a wizard - because I was so happy for Harry.

So I am looking forward to the new book. I hope it starts off lightly at Bill and Fleur's wedding - something nice and light to get us going.

And I absolutely cannot wait for the movie - that Umbridge woman really was heinous, wasn't she?

So, I am off, to find something new to read - peace out - :-)
