My childhood is over. My life is over. MY CHILDHOOD IS DEAD. HARRY POTTER HAS ENDED. I cried. I CRIED. I CRIED WATCHING HARRY POTTER. THE LAST TIME I CRIED WAS WHEN I WATCHED "THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY".
My emotions are all over the place because of this. My voice is shot from shouting about how my childhood is dead and Harry Potter has ended. Carmen, Tina, Pat, Jimmy, Hilary, Lorenzo, Kate and I had a huge group hug while screaming and crying about how our lives are over. We spent an hour after the movie ended, taking pictures, talking about the movie, talking about how the series influenced our childhoods, and hugging. People thought we were drunk, but we didn't care. We made tee shirts and E wore a Gryffindor scarf while wearing glasses and holding a wand. N wore a Hufflepuff hat.
This is both the best and worst night of my life. Harry Potter made me want to learn how to read. I saw the first movie opening weekend when I was six years old. I read every book, watched every movie, bought every book and movie, went to the film and book releases. When I turned eleven, I awaited my Hogwarts letter. I believed that a world such as the world of Harry Potter existed. Harry Potter was everything to me.
The movie was amazing, the books were phenomenal, and everything is fucking fantastic. Nothing, I repeat, NOTHING will ever match up to Harry Potter. I will buy the audiobooks, every book in Hardcover, every movie poster, the soundtrack for every movie, and I will go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios.
Nothing will beat Harry Potter. Nothing will match up to this amount. I will look back on Harry Potter with fond memories, and everything that it was to me. I will keep every Harry Potter merchandise I have. I will keep the tee shirt I made. I WILL BE FORTY-FIVE AND STILL HAVE HARRY POTTER.
J. K. Rowling is a freaking genius. She created a world within our own, brought it to life, and did everything absolutely perfectly. Her works influenced young authors worldwide and inspired children everywhere. She is the most wonderful person in the world.
I now now that Harry Potter is is not dead. Harry Potter lives on in those who were in the Harry Potter Generation. Children like me who lived off Harry Potter. Children who lived and breathed Harry Potter. Children who learned to read from Harry Potter. Harry Potter is not over. Sure, there are no more movies or book releases. But Harry Potter lives on in the hearts of children of the Harry Potter generation.
Hopefully, they will make it a required reading in schools 20 years from now.
