This is a sorta emo entry that I reckon not all will enjoy.
To those who stuck with Harry until the very end,
Dude. Been feeling very weird lately. No words can describe how I am feeling now.
But sorta like it seems to me the world is coming to an end. I feel rather empty, down and meaningless. As if there is no excitement in my life anymore, seems like I am living in the Prison of Azkaban where Dementor suck my happiness away and forever.
Mass outbreak of pimples on my face. The reason to why I am feeling like this is bcoz Harry Potter ended. Ok. I feel dumb. I know, its just a story and its not even a true story. And this story is meant for kids.
Nonetheless, I feel kinda upset. We been following Harry & crew for so long and accompanying him thru his adventure and learnt abt & be amazed by things he and I dunno about the wizarding world. I shared the excitement he had during all the Quidditch matches. I cursed together with him when irritating Vernon family and Malfoy gang try to provoke Harry. I hated Harry when he became such a spoilt brat who think he-knows-it-all by yelling at Dumbledore. I felt upset when Harry fell out with Ron in globlet of fire and in Deathly Hallows. I feel his anger when injustice happens to him and around him especially in Order of Phoenix. I know and sense the pain of his scar when Voldermort is near. I know the way how silly he laughs when he is around his group of friends. I envy the way he shared his secret with Ron and Hermione and that both of them would go thru thick and thin with him. I pity him when he loves Ginny but couldn't be with her. I feel the sadness in him when he thinks of his parents, god-father and those who died for him...
We had come this far together and for many yrs, reading and re-reading each book at least thrice and impatiently yet patiently waiting for the next book... and suddenly everything ended. I am so familar with each character in the story till I could predict what Ron or Hermione or even any Weasley family would say or their answer for a question. It seems that all the characters in Harry have become my friends and we share their happiness, sadness, anxiety, nervousness, worries and their loves.
Jess sensed that I seem different, seem like I got something troubling me. I told her why (though I feel dumb) and she was amazed by the speed of my reading bcoz she told me a book with such thickness, she will need around 1yr to finish it while I only need 1day. Jingyan was like saying, she couldn't even believe there are pple who will buy and read every single Harry Potter book which is 7 installments in total and she rolled her eyes. Making me feel more dumber than ever.
Reckon she doesn't know I am a big fan of it.
Its still hard to believe it really is the end of the road for Harry
For pple like me, Harry is not only a book or a story, its a part of life, a brand, an adventure, an event, a breaking story or you could say culture that billions believe in it.
See... JK Rowling shares my feeling:
"It's a big sense of achievement," she said. "I mean I am sad, but I think (I was) sadder immediately after finishing writing. I felt devastated. For about a week I was hard to live with after finishing this book."
When I started I wasn't in a bad place, then life had its ups and downs, so Harry has been with me through a lot. I think it was that feeling more than any other, that I wouldn't have that world to retreat into again," she said.
Anw, I discovered Fred and George birthday is on 1st of Apr, April Fool Day.
What a joke but its so appropriate isn't it? Haa... Read it from JK Rowling site. Its such an interesting site.
