Harry potter and the.....

So it has been a while since I've blogged about anything. It's not as though i haven't had things to blog about, i sure have, but to tell the truth i just haven't felt like writing it all down. I find it is the same with everything; you have moments where you are obsessed with something and other times where you are just not interested. Periods of love and hate differ from circumstance to circumstance. For example i went through a obsession with harry potter when i was younger, back in the days of play acting where you would get together with your friends on playdates and pretend you are at hogwarts making potions and

just a pause in the story, ready steady cook has just come on the tv. For those of you who dont know, there is a new host on the program by the name of Colin Lane, better know as Lano from Lano and woodley. For those of you who dont know who im talking about, you have some research to do. And for those who do, don't get excited because this is almost as bad as them breaking up. You think a comedian hosting a programme will lighten it up? I haven't heard one joke.

back to harry potter
casting spells. And then you grow out of that stage and harry potter isn't cool anymore, and you pretend you don't know all the characters names let alone having the audiobooks on cassette tape. But then the newest book is released and you are back to obsessing with them.
It was strange when i found Zo blogging about harry potter because that was something that i wanted to blog about. After seeing the last movie it was hard to believe that it was over. I couldn't figure out if that sad feeling was because it was the last one or if it was because it wasn't as close to the book as i wanted it to be. I was kind of disappointed that the last fight scene wasn't in the great hall and that Neville didn't kill the snake in front of everyone, or that harry's death with dumbledore was a bit boring. Why didn't Harry repair his wand before destroying the other? and the 17 years later part just didn't work. In a way i know it isn't finished. I know there will be something else. Whether it is a play or a musical or even an anime and manga. just the other day i saw this most amazing manga drawing (below). I suppose that was the story of our childhood, just like starwars was for others, and there will be many more to come. I wish i could just wipe my memory of these books and read them again. But would i like them like i did when i was younger?
