Deathly Hallows

I've just finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the 7th and final installment of the phenomenal Harry Potter series.

I still remember reading the very first book, Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone when I was in Primary 5 eight years ago, because I thought it looked pretty interesting. Little did I know, that marked the beginning of my tiny contribution to the meteoric rise in the sales of this magical book.

To be honest I can't say what's so attractive, and what keeps us so hooked and interested that someone as lazy as I am would be motivated enough to wake up at 6am to queue up for the damn book. Perhaps it's because Rowling melded fantasy and reality so well, that readers feel included into the wizarding world, and seriously all those people who don't read Harry Potter, those who are not in the know, are just pathetic muggles.

Anyhow though I am rather sad that it's the end, I'm quite glad the ending went the way it did. I suppose I would never have expected anything less of Ms Rowling.

Yay!
