Finished the last book of the Harry Potter Series "The Deathly Hallow" today @1:30pm... The ending of the book was marvelous, beautiful more than I had expected. It all started with me picking it up from the Bookstore, rt at 12:00 pm, 21st midnight..as if waiting for the future of harry or destiny to unfold, with all questions, and uncertainties and fear concerning if he, his friends , his faith will eventually see the light of truth or will it be darkness.. I never believed the later. Over the years as I read all the potter books somehow somewhere a part of my soul got spit and associated with the book (he he..am talking like a wizzard, I think none of as we ever talk like a muggle anymore) and with 'Harry'..there were too many things in his life that one could relate to, atleast for me... inspite of being completely aware that there exists no connection between his magic and my muggle world! But still it was nice to see and feel that in dreams in fantasy's it could be possible...
So, I picked up the book, from the store at 12 and was home by 1:00AM... straight I dugged into my bed..slept of at 4.00 am then next morning started it again from post noon...! What a great weekend...solely and solely dedicated to Harry Potter.. loved it... :) Mom called but I just told her to wait till I finish reading this book..now that am done, and I know what happens in the end, and am happy with it, am all excited about it..
But my excitement soon made me realize this was it. THIS WAS THE END OF Harry...it kind of left me with a sensation of how one feels when you all of a sudden loose something very dear to you, close to you, when you know you would never hear back from them ever again. You would never know what's happening to them... It's like 7 years with somebody all of a sudden came to an end... like somebody died.. or something that will never grow again, that will never have new leaves, it just has to freeze..a sense of isolation, separation, a divorce...from a dream, a rythym...
As I rejoiced with the enjoyment and excitement of what happened post the Half Blood Prince, I felt saddened by the fact, that there won't be any more Hogsworth express, no more owls, no more Quidditch, no more ,no more of welcome meal... :((. Having lived in boarding for so many years, I think had just quite a few common memories with harry, with his return in each book or movie. All of a sudden I am reminded of the same Lull, that I used to feel or still feel remembering the moments of having had to say good bye to friends or people or place I grew up. A mixed feeling, of coming to know of the fate of YKW and harry but at the same time a sadness of realizing the end as well, a perfect cocktail. It's like nothing to look forward to all of a sudden... I have never been so effects by a series..ever in my life...
Although there won't be any new stories about Potter, I am sure I will most efficiently retain all my memories from the magic world (charms, enchantment, spell, potions, Prof. Magongle, Moaning Murlet etc etc..) to amuse my children and grand children... I can't wait to read the books again with them.. and apparate to Hogswort to have a peep in the Pensive through their 'Memory Channels' ....

You are in the same frequency as mine once again. :) I too vented out the same feeling in my blog.
The last sentence was touching. It indeed will be hard to remain a muggle now.
