As a lot of you have mentioned, I was feeling a little blue when I
finished HP7, not because of all the emotions I had gone through
during the book. Ok I had a lot of that as JKR intended, but as you
menitoned, knowing I woulnd't have that excitement again.
Harry Potter is the first book series I have EVER been that
excited about. Yes, I have series I love and do look forward to
each new installment, but none have ever lived up to how I feel
about HP.
I didn't let it get me donw though. I've actually gone the other
way. Yesterday I rewatched Prizoner of Azkaban with my sons and
actually noticed I was watching it a little differently now that I
know how everything ends. I know JKR mentioned that she had told
some of the actors small snipets of the characters future just
enough to help them know where the characters were coming from and I
had flashes of that, I think now watching the movie with my new
perspective. My poor husband hasn't seen Order of Phoenix yet (we
have a young child too young to see it, so I got to see it with my
sons). We are going to see it tomorrow night and I look forward to
my fresh perspective as well. I figure I will be in a Harry Potter
mania for another week or so then slowly get back to kmy normal
life. I'm going to enjoy this ride while it lasts, however.
Thanks to JKR for creating such a wonderful series.
