all is well

so it's done. the decade-long saga of harry potter comes to an end. i finished reading the book yesterday, i just couldn't put it down. at first, i found myself rushing through it, just cuz i couldn't wait to see what happened. then, as i read each chapter, it dawned on me that this was it, no more would i wonder what happens to hp and company. the end of the this book was THE END. and that is a sobering realization. but, i have to say, without giving away any plot points, that i think she did justice to the series. there were some shocks, some sad points, some smiles, and some laughs. and though i'm sad beyond belief that it's finished, overall, i'm just glad that these books were written. hp and friends can serve as a real inspiration to generations of children and adults alike, regardless of their literary status. since this is such a vague "review" i wont say more, because i would hate to spoil the book for anyone. perhaps in a few days i'll write a little more, once everyone has had a fair chance to read the conclusion firsthand. but i'll just say, see you later, hp - it's no use saying goodbye, i know we'll be revisiting every so often in the future.
