Well, well well! I am talking about the Harry Potter series, its going to end soon! I probably have to wait 24hrs after the book release, before I can find out who DIES!
Suprisingly, I am rather not enthusiastic about the finale. I thought I would be jumping up and down my seat, humming to the HP tune by Warner brothers, be like any other die hard fan. I guess, age caught up with me. I don’t feel so compel to want to read the book. Or maybe, you just have to wait and see what happens on the eve of the book release.
I suspect, it would be beautiful to be in London right about now, or maybe the US where I can take a look inside the Knight Bus and give a 20 sec recording. Its like Halloween in July!
I saw a copy of Priosner of Azkaban printed in India. The quality of the print isn’t as good as the ones printed in UK or the US. But nevertheless, its the story we’re after so it doesn’t matter where we get our books from right? My littlest cousin bought her books over there. Paperback version. Its actually silly, we actually have copies of HP books from the UK and the US. The covers of the books are different, we know.
My mother bought us our first UK version when I was in primary school, right after PSLE, back then, I didn’t know it was going to be a series, not until she bought book 2 and 3. Anyhow, after the books got famous, my uncle went to the states for a couple of week for his buisness and returned with Book1-4 plus tape recordings for books 1 & 2. Apparently, he had no idea we owned the books. We were happy campers because, my sister and I had the tendency to re read the books so the more books there were, the more times we could read!
And I had no idea our cousin was going to buy the books in India, for I would have lent her my set. But oh well, she bought it and so now I am aware of having 3 sets of HP books in our family! Its too many for one family, even if its an extended one. (Plus, we live two streets away, in the same neighbourhood, she could have just asked me!!)
What can I say, HP has made the world go crazy.
And I just want to know what happens.
July 21, I await you.
