The end of an era. What on earth will we have to wait anxiously for now? I suppose a few more years of waiting for the last two movies to be made.

I would like to be one of the many here to say that oh my God. I can't believe it will only be 5 months until the release of one of the greatest books series ever. Unfortunately all things come to an end, but I will love this book forever no matter what happens. If Harry dies, I hope the love of the others continues in his good spirit, if he lives thank God. If Snape is good I will be happier than ever, and if he is bad there is nothing we can do about it. I can't wait for this, I had a hunch it would be in July and I was right!

AAAAAH!! How terribly daunting, terribly exciting, terribly.. the end of the series. Wow, the date released. That means she's ended, done with the book, with the series. Forever and ever! Ugh such weirdness. I cannot imagine how I will feel a few days before and the day of the release. I want that book so badly but at the same time I don't want it to endd because the feeling after reading the last 'scar' (word) of the 7th book will be horrible! I'll know the ending. And it will be unchangeablee and no more storyness. No more Harry, Ron, Hermione, Hagrid, Draco, McGonagall, Fred, George, Ginny, Luna, I dunno.. no more anyone! Omygosh. It's just crazy. Crazy crazy crazy crazy, I tell you.

(I've used this before, but I don't care.)
That's why...
I couldn't be happier.
Simply, couldn't be happier.
Look what we've got, a fairy-tale plot, with it's very own, HAPPY ENDING. (or at least we hope).
It's a kind of a sort of a boss.
There's a couple of things get, lost.
Cause getting your dreams as strage as it seems is a little well, complicated.
(i.e. I want the book, but I don't want the series to end)
But I couldn't be happier.
Simply, couldn't be happier.
