the end of an era...

Not to be dramatic or anything... but OMG I'M SEEING HARRY POTTER AND THE END OF MY CHILDHOOD (part II) tonight.  I don't know what I will do with myself after.  Probably see it again. And again.  And again and again.  Then read the books over, and get excited for the movie to come out on DVD so I can watch all the special features.  I just want to say, right now, that I will miss the excitement and anticipation that this series has brought to my life.  It's impossible to imagine my life without these stories--I truly owe so much to JK Rowling.  Without her, I would not have spent twelve hours standing in the rain in Trafalgar Square, not been the co-captain and co-founder of the Denison Quidditch League, and probably not have wanted to be a writer of children's literature.  And so maybe have not gone to England and found Bath, a city that I love SO MUCH and cannot bear to leave. It will be so hard to step on that plane at 8:00 in the morning... So, all in all, I would be a different person I think.

THANK YOU JK ROWLING.  Like we chanted at the premiere... Thank you.

Can't wait to see the movie (just one hour and forty five minutes left!).  I will be in tears for most of it, I imagine.  PS--I'm watching part I right now, as it should be all one movie... I hope you all enjoy the film as much as I'm expecting to.

You are all the happy thoughts I have when I cast my patronus.  PS my patronus is an ostrich.  Maybe a penguin.
