Open at the Close

I did it. i watched the last Harry Potter and now it is over. I feel like my childhood is over as well. Those of you who are around the same age know how i feel since we literally grew up with Harry. I started reading the books when i was young and then the first movie came out when i was 11 years old. I remember when i was about 9 everyone was talking about how great this Harry Potter was and it was my grandma that summer who would read it to me while we swung in the hammock in her back yard. From then on it was Potter Mania in my life. Every birthday was Harry Potter, i looked up recipes from harry potter, knew most of the spells, got merch from the movies like the time turner and I have Harrys wand, and I had a 2in binder stuffed full of things about Harry Potter from magazines. Yes i am a nerd but thats ok cuz I love Harry Potter and i am not ashamed of it! I was extremely bummed when i found out that I would miss the opening night of the last movie in the states. It would have been epic and a great close to the final chapter with costumes, cheering, crying, and love for the boy who lived. Instead i watched it with my friend who has never read the books and laughed at me because i was crying basically through most of the movie. To make it worse i thought i was seeing it on opening day but in Europe it comes out a few days before and so even though i was seeing it the opening day in the states it had been out for two days in Turkey. I am still glad i got to see it. I will still have plenty of opportunities to host Harry Potter parties and have all day Potter marathons and so no worries. I am sad and is it sad that i want to cry when i  still think about it. Its over. All of it. But it is not the end. It is the beginning.
