incredible.

jk rowling has been able to get children from a culture where reading is not usually considered a form of entertainment but rather an obligatory torturous activity to willingly for-go television, video games and computer entertainment and read a total of over 3500 pages.

not to mention the 294890324873284203 adults who will wait in line until 2am, a good 3-4 hours past most of their bedtimes, for a copy of the last installment in the series about a boy who must save the world while still dealing with standardized tests and classroom boners. (note: there is never any mention of harry dealing with this pubescent horror, but im positive he had to with cho chang, gorgeous veela and ginny running around)

and tho most series' endings, no matter the media, leave a little bit of dissapointment in the avid fan (aka me), i do not have one complaint or suggestion for a better conclusion...

to me, it is perfect.

that, ladies and gentleman, is the definition of incredible.

j.k rowling is a creative genius. i cried my way through the last 75 pages or so, not only because of the plot but because it is the end of an epic series. we'll talk HP soon enough my dear...miss you!!!!

so i believe i skipped over this post of yours when i read JK because i was terrified of you saying SOMETHING about anything in the book. Now that i finally have finished it- took me about a month!!(dios mio) I am happy to say that i laughed through your post and cried through the books end- LOVVVVING every moment of it. I agree with you 100%

I don't fit in quito yet- but does anyone ever really fit in anywhere? ;)
