Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows

I can’t believe it. I finally know how it all ends. And I am not very happy. I feel the ending wasn’t really satisfying, I am thirsty for more. I thought this whole Harry Potter series was meant for children. It didn’t seem like it.

But suprisingly, I related more with the characters in this book. I felt some of the words in the book were meant for me.

And I know its childish, I know its juvenile but I feel rather nostalgic. Because I want more! I even had tears in my eyes this morning, which I am  not too sure if its due to the lack of sleep or if I am upset over the ending. I think the former was the cause.

However, the book is a huge teaser, in the sense that JKR doesn’t give you what you want to know from the beginning, she makes you wait. But wait, I did.For me the book had parts which were rather draggy in the first 200-300 pages.

But by the end of the book, there is so many questions I want to ask JKR. And I just wish I was living next door to JKR, so I can barge into her house today, and ask….”WHY?, HOW? DID THEY EVER? …….

I am reading it once more and that’s it. No more Harry Potter. Because it has ended, I know how it ends. Its a good ending, just I wish JKR could have written alittle more about some of the other characters.

And let me tell you JKR, is on a killing spree. I never expected she would kill the people she killed. Beware. MASSIVE KILLINGS!

Now why did I not sleep well? BLAME IT ON THE POPULAR PEOPLE. The nearest bookstore to my place is a Popular Branch. (I know I said I ordered the book months back, but its a long story, to cut the story short, My aunt made a mistake and I ended up ordering the book the day before the book was out!) $48.05 it costed, but since atleast 3 people will be reading this book, more than once, its a reasonable buy, so my aunt claims. Infact she’s looking forward to head down to borders to buy the American version. No wonder JKR is a billionaire! With people like my Aunt….hmmm tsk tsk. One book not enough ah?!

Anyhow, this Popular salesgirl told me the bookstore would be open at 11am on the day of the book release even though the Newspapers had printed articles saying that all bookstores selling HP books would be open at 7am. So I woke way past 7am, around 9. And I had an inclination to call up the bookstore and guess what? The bookstore was indeed open at 7am. I ended up buying the book late, ended up multi-tasking both at home with errands and only managed to complete the book  this morning at 2.30am. Great siah, If only I had bought the book at 7am, I wouldn’t need to be sleeping so late right?……
