Harry Potter, The End
The final page has been read and as I closed the book on all that which is Potter, I knew the story was finished enough for me. Looking across the room at the two bookcases filled between the SGM and my books, I thought, ”This is the joy that JK Rowling gave to so many people – the joy of reading.”
Can you tell me the last time the world waited with baited breath, going to a bookstore at midnight to have a party? Let me know if there is an answer to that question.
Harry, Ron and Hermione are in their place of history now. For seven books we watched a young boy in the worst that society could throw at one grow, learn, love, hurt and become a man. There are so many lessons to be learned throughout all seven books, about loyalty, love, greed, acceptence and more that cannot be put into words. Children read and absorbed all that is Potter, but I can also hope they learned too. JKR was careful in the lessons she bestowed throughout the seven books. No one-sided bent was given, as I see it, just a basic moral foundation that all children, and adults, should know from birth.
Hagrid – the largest of the characters in not only stature, but heart, is loved by all who surround him. Snape an ugly person inside and out cannot even be found to have one friend. It really is what comes from within that is more important.
There are so many more lessons I saw. Honesty. Loyalty. Faith in what is Right. Some of our politicians could learn from Harry Potter and friends. These books will be read and reread throughout generations to come. More authors will come forth with great books, but I do not see for a long time another Harry Potter.
Thank you JK Rowling for a wonderful ride and a great ending
