as you know the book series started in 1997 and ended in 2007 (9 years ago!!!!) which was a really rough year for the harry potter fans but at least the story continued in the form of the films until 2011 (excuse me while i process how it has been 5 years!). i remember balling my eyes out in the cinema as i saw it fade to black for the last time. in 2011 i visited the harry potter studio tour in london. since then i have gone a second time and am currently planning another trip because i'm a sad sad human.
As you know there has been many spin off books from the harry potter universe that make up the hogwarts library collection but this year JK rowling is releasing the cured child book, play and fantastical beast and where to find them. and as you can imagine i am dying with excitement.
even though we may have lost alan this year the potterhead fandom is still going strong after almost 20 years!!!
this is so inspiring to mean is it show how much book can shape and change people's lives and perspectives, even in this computer centric age. Harry potter teaches children about friend ship and bravery and it teaches adults its okay to be childish. The long the story continues the more lives it can touch and i find that so beautiful.
everything has to end at some point and harry potter has ended but these spin off stories show that with every end there will ALWAYS be a new being.
