Ali:
Strip is between the mom and daughter (Mom's name escapes me; daughter
is named Hil ... Hilary?).

First panel (double panel):
Mom: Why don't I ever see you read anymore, Hil?
Hil:  Because the Harry Potter series wrapped up almost three years ago.

Panel 2:
Mom: You know, there ARE other books.
Hil:  Mom, I gave my best years to the Potter books ...

Panel 3:
Hil: And when they ended, I never felt so deprived, so grief-stricken
in my entire life ...

Panel 4:
Hil:  I ... I just don't think I can stand to have my heart broken
like that again.

Panel 5:
Mom:  Read a book, Hil.
Hil: Fine, but YOU'LL have to pick up the pieces when I fall apart again.


To Potioncat:
Honestly, when the HP books were done, I was left with a bit of a bad
taste in my mouth.  I just thought that epilogue was so ... forced
down my throat!  (Nothing to do with ships, just didn't see why the
book couldn't end before the epilogue.)  When I think of HP now, I
think of that epilogue, which is sad since it was a good series.
However, I just don't enjoy "neat and tidy" endings - bit of a strange
quirk of mine, I know, but everyone has to have various oddities to
them.
