Harry Potter has been a major marker for the generation. We have lived through the releases of 7 books, 8 movies, and soon pottermore.
Now that the official story of Harry Potter has come to a close, how are you dealing with?
Personally I'm having trouble dealing with the whole 'no more' thing. The ned felt right, but I'm missing not having anythign to look forward to.
What about you guys?

I'm mostly having the trouble of 'no-more'. Though isn't she suppse to write two more books or something like that in the same universe?
I highly disliked the ending. Not cause the way it was written. Mostly just cause of the pairings, and I didn't agree with who everyone ended up with.
*hugs book set* I'm gunna miss the series. I've practically memorized the books, and I can quote the first six movies word for word.

I haven't been able to find anything about new books in the same universe other than the little side things like the text books and that.
I didn't have a problem with the pairings. I liked them. I felt like it was cute to see the progress of them from little kids to who they are now and really it could have gone anyway. But Things like R/H felt deserved, I don't think the hero always needs to get the girl, and to me Harry and hermoine always seemed to have a brother sister connection as they got older that I think they got because Ron and Ginny did have the siblings (they didn't need anymore) but Harry and Hermoine didn't and they got that sibling connection over the years in my opinion.
We should do a memorial book club reading on one of the HP books where we all read it together and discuss things as we go.

Oh my gosh we should do that! I've been meaning to re-read the series. My friends and I watched most of the first movie before we went to see the eight and it was just so...*sniffles* It was really weird that you posted it, b/c I just read a really good article in my school paper about the last movie and the end of the HP era. It made me sad  I liked the ending, but I don't think that it's really sunk in that it's over. Like I didn't cry or anything. I agreed with all the pairings, my only thing is I wish we had some specifics about their kids (Houses? Friends? Favorite classes? Forbidden love interests?) but at the same time I love reading future gen fic because it's so diverse what houses they're in and what their personalities are like, and I wouldn't want to ruin that and limit it. Spoiler warning - but really you should know all this already.At the moment I'm actually more broken up about the end of the Marauders. Because when you think about it...it it so godamn depressing, excuse my language. (Especially when you've become a firm believer that SBRL is canon, as I have.) Like, Remus thinks he's all alone, abandoned by his lover best friend for 13 years, and then poof! They're alive. But Peter is evil. And then it's just two short years before Sirius is dead, and then Remus dies right after he has Teddy.  It actually gives more depth to any SBRL fic I read, knowing that - no matter how happy there are as students - the war will come and it will all go downhill soon enough. God, I sound morbid. I swear I'm not actually depressed guys! Angst just...calms me  |
