The End of the Road for the Harry Potter series

I just completed reading all of 660 pages of that piece of fan-fiction, and its gripping enough for anyone to want to increase their reading speeds just to know what happens next.

Intricately woven plot details combined with a swift narrative, this PDF is something that you can’t remove off your monitors until you’re done reading the book.

This now brings me to think that I enjoyed reading this book immensely for the simple reason that I, just like millions of people out there, am just too curious to know what will happen next and July 21st 2007 seems like too long a wait for that to materialize.

Every single Harry Potter fan has been missing the series a lot, and considering the kind of mass-hysteria generated by the books, it would be but natural that the entire HP fan fraternity will suffer massive withdrawl symptoms, come July 21st when the book will be released and read from cover to cover, and more likely than otherwise, re-read as well.

Though this post speaks truthfully about how most of the stuff in the books is a re-hash of tried and tested methods of story-telling, one must put full admiration towards JKR for having presented the books the way she did.

When the Half-Blood Prince was released, I was at Strand Book Stall early in the morning on 21st July 2005, and reached the place very early with a whole bunch of other people who were as excited about wanting to lay their hands on the book, and I was able to get it and read it completely on that very same day.

I am definitely going to try and do the same for Deathly Hallows too, though I hope that there is more in store for all of us here.

*here be spoiler*
I distinctly remember feeling bad when Sirius and Dumbledore both died in parts 5 and 6, and at the end of the road, after the final page of book 7 is read and we all would know what we’ve been waiting to know all this while, there will definitely be some mixed feelings associated with the fact that its finally over.
*end of spoiler*

Sure, its just an arbit series of well-written, captivating books, but somehow, one can’t imagine something similar happening with other series of books, at least in the near future.

I sincerely hope I am wrong about the above statement, though.
