Harry is here at last! (No spoilers, I promise.)
It’s over.
Harry’s tale has been told and I wasn’t disappointed.
It was hard not to head over to Barnes and Noble at 12:01 am to get the book on Friday night/ Saturday morning. But, I knew that I could just as well get it at Target later on Saturday morning with my other shopping. So, I held off. I began reading at about 1pm Saturday (after Cameron went down for his nap) and finished it last night (Sunday) at 11:30pm.
I’ll admit-I cried at parts through the book. There were some surprises, some disappointments, but the entire book was quite emotional. But the love of Harry by his fellow wizarding world was the most inspiring part of the book. Harry has never had a real family. J.K. Rowling gave him the entire wizarding world as his family by their passion and support of him. It really gave me a lump in my throat.
The book felt somewhat like Episode 3 of the Star Wars series. It came together. The previous questions were answered. There were times that I was saying to myself, “of course! Of course he would do that!” Or, “yes, of course, it couldn’t be that simple.” And, you find out that you don’t always know someone as well as you think you do.
J.K. Rowling has said for quite awhile that at least 2 characters die in this book. I was prepared for that. But, this entire book is really about death. We are scared of death because it leaves us alone. For Harry, it took away parents that he never got to know. It took away Sirius, the closet father-like person he had in his life. And death had taken Albus Dumbledore, the man that always had the answers for Harry.
We know Voldemort has created Horcruxes to try to prevent death, which is not natural. You can't prevent the inevitable. But, the story is about coming to terms with that natural next step in life. If you are not afraid of it, it helps you come to terms with it. You will realize that your loved ones will always be with you. They never truly go away because they are within you.
I was happy with the book. It got a little weighty with details in the middle and I often had a hard time keeping things straight. But the end was not at all like I expected and was very exciting and attention grabbing. I was happy with how it ended and I went to bed a little sad, but fulfilled, knowing that the Harry Potter tale had been completed.
If you’ve read it through, send me an email. I’m dying to discuss the details!
