"I've had the most incredible 10 years of my life on 'Harry Potter. It's been the year of the longest goodbye in the world, and it is a very, very sad thing, but we just had the most amazing, amazing time," says Radcliffe.
That's Daniel Radcliffe to you. Source:http://blog.zap2it.com/pop2it/2011/10/daniel-radcliffe-accepts-scream-awards-for-deathly-hallows-part-2.html


It is true for me and for probably a thousand people on earth who grew up with Harry Potter.
The longest goodbye. And even if you'd try to say, "I'd never say goodbye to Harry", you know it is necessary. It is necessary to let go of the boy who lived. Not because you have outgrew him. No, because the boy with the lightning scar would never leave you. He'd sit still in the recesses of your heart and your brain. Together with all the characters that filled your growing up years. You have to let go of Harry and everybody because you have to pave way for new characters. For new stories, for new friends that would fill your mind for awhile and scar you forever.


I've just finished the Hunger Games. Fell in love with Katniss, Peeta, Prim, Rue, Cinna, Gale, Annie, Wiress and most specially Finnick. (hehehe). I've welcomed them with suspense on my toes and I've said goodbye with scars in my psychological tissues. And I haven't moved on to another book since. But I plan to.  When you finish the Hunger Games series you'd probably need counseling too just like when you finish the HP series.


It was also nice that while I was reading Mockingjay, my sister Sarina were reading Order of the Phoenix. It's like meeting in a timeline, meeting in different worlds we have been to. :D because I've read the Order of the Phoenix (twice) sometime ago and she read Mockingjay before I did. Oh crap! I hope you get my drift cause I don't feel like articulating this concept as of the moment.


The thing is I came across the quote above yesterday. Just as I finished the Hunger Games. Harry is waving his hands again. Reminding me that November is coming and that the final dvd of the best story ever told in the whole universe would be released. :D And I'd be having marathons again.


Ayah! I hope it's November already, because even if I kept it at bay, I miss Harry already.
