I just saw the last Harry Potter movie.
And I wept.
About five times...
Fred dies? Cry. Remus & Tonks? Cry. All the dead come? Cry. Harry gets 'killed'? Cry. Rest of movie? (especially the end)? Cry. Cry. BALL LIKE A FREAKIN CHILD.
It was amazing. No cheesy parts. Neville was awesome. Everything about it was extraordinary. It's odd. When it was done, I turned to my sister and simply said: "It's over." And though she doesn't get it, it truly is.
Harry Potter has been with me since grade two. I've read the books. Lined up for movies. Been to the theme park. Had marathons. Written fanfiction. Read fanfiction. Dreamt about it! Sure, I may not have been hardcore enough to wear robes around or advertise my love to the extreme. But... that wasn't because I was embarrassed... It was because it's a private thing for me. The world that J.K Rowling created is something that I'll always carry with me. No one can see that last movie and not say that the woman is a brilliant mind, to the likes of Einstein. Sure, she hasn't saved lives. But she's new lives. Stories that will take the readers on adventures of unknowns. That's private for me. Private and wonderful.
While there will always be a place in my heart for Harry Potter, I can't say that I don't feel this is an ending. I hope J.K Rowling gives us many other great things.
Goodbye Hermione, Ron, James & Lily, Sirius, Remus, Ginny, Fred, George, Percy, Bill, Charlie, Molly, Arthur, Dumbledore, Snape, McGonagall, Flitwick, Slughorn, Trelawney, Sinistra, Hagrid even Voldemort. And goodbye Harry, the boy - who - lived.
Thank you. For everything...

okaysofirst, HARRY. POTTER. THEME. PARK. WAS. FRIKKIN. AMAZING. that'sall.
so on my little listey, i have durmstrang boys. so they had a bunch of the characters from schools and such walking around and conversing with people. so my sister and her friend were in a shop and i was waiting outside for them when this really hot durmstrang boy came up to me. so he was scowling like a true durmstrang boy and just came up and grunted to my back. so i was pretty annoyed already with my sister and friend taking so long so i sort of whipped around and glared at the dude all bitch-like. THEN he immediately stood up straighter and smiled and we had a mini conversation in which he told me i was supposedly the most powerful witch in all of the wizarding world, that i'd be brought up better if i went to durmstrang and he kissed my hand and strod off with a wink. it was the creepiest thing in all of eternity but also insanely sweet. :X
then we waited in line for 20 minutes to get into a wand demonstration at Ollivanders. so they let 24 people in or so and my sister, her friend and i all gathered into a corner. and dana had her camera up snapping pictures and when the door closes the 'wand - keeper / ollivander - fellow' immediately started on our way towards us. so i'm trying to look innocent and hiss at my sister to put her camera down when he points at me and goes 'you're here to get a wand'. so i nod like a dumb ass, he pulls another woman from the crowd and we go up to his desk. so then he starts jabbering on about wands and things when he pulls out two wands. i then had to whip my wand around and say 'accio ladder'. let's just say the shelves behind the ladder all went 'magically crazy'. :P the woman had a similar effect. and then the guy switched my wand and the other womans and they had wind come out of the floor and the inspirational harry potter music playing. so our wands essentially 'picked us'. :) it was pretty sweet. i have a reed wand of 15 inches with a dragon heartstring that's good in offensive magic and in his words 'very powerful indeed for such a short person'. so that was pretty cool.
and then there were the rides. it was more than an hour wait to get onto the big one that takes place in the castle in groups, so the three of us just went on as 'single riders' and got on in 20 minutes. while we were waiting there were the talking portraits and even the sorting hat. the actual ride though was AMAZING. it felt so real it made me sad. :( and quidditch? that was scary. though, you did get sprayed a bit by water.
the flight of the hippogriff was a kiddie coaster so it wasn't all that fun but it was fine.
the dragon challenge i'd already been on when it was in disney as just 'dueling dragons'. but now it was supposedly the hungarian horntail and the chinese fireball. at the top, because sarah and i were waiting for dana and my mother, i pretended to work there and people actually believed me and asked me questions about the park! xD then the real person who worked there showed up and kicked me out of my elite spot, but he was laughing. the red dragon was a lot bumpier than the other one.
BUTTERBEER. ohhhsooogooodd. it's like caramel and ice and sugar and just amazing. that's all i have to say either than i know why everyone loves it in the books.
oh and also, there was a post with a screen on it with the 'have you seen this wizard? sirius black?' posted onto it with a moving picture of sirius' mug shot. =D best. thing. of. life.
and they had all sorts of shops that you could and couldn't go into. there was a 'dervish and bangs' and a 'robe shop'. there were also a bunch you couldn't go into but you could look in the windows too. we did eat in the three broomsticks though! and we went into honeydukes and zonkos. i didn't buy any thing at zonkos but i did get a chocolate frog and bertie botts every flavored beans at honey dukes. yum! :)
when we left the park though and actually went to see the fireworks... it was pitiful! there was no countdown and only one firework went off! so we left... but then that one dude who was the singer in poison was playing a concert and started playing the 'iiii want to rock and roll all nighttttt, and party every day!' song and EVERYONE in the crowd as we left was singing it.
and these ladies when i was in quality quidditch supplies and paying for my quidditch shirt (potter :D) were all of a sudden talking and saying 'i want to go to canada, they're so nice' so then i showed them loonies and toonies and our colorful money and they were mesmerized. :X
but i'm now broke. shiat.

so i'm sitting in my condominium room, watching a horribly sad house episode and waiting for my parents, sister and sisters friend. my hair is straightened and a bit poofy and i just finished three more books. i need to go through my closet, which i'll do soon... probs in like two minutes. then again, i might just be too lazy again.
we're going to try and get into harry potter tonight! :D wooohoo! not much more to say but we're leaving the parks at one in the morning tonight. :)
dana's friend is coming with us =/ which i'm not too happy about. i'll just have to hide my brooding to secret though, yes, that's what i'll do. but i'm trying not to loose myself in jumping up and down in excitement. calm. charlotte. calm. WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT?! sure, i'm a loser but i'm fucking excited about it!!!!
nothing else really changed so i'm going to organize now. and talk to karys on msn more.

twentyeighth of december II
tron. was. amazing. AMAZING. that's all i'm going to say about it. either than the dude that played sam? holy smokes.
we're trying to figure out how we're going to get to The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter. we might go tomorrow. my dad wants to go friday for new years eve but we don't think we can get in and see dana's soccer friends play at the same time. and i want to go. i NEED to go. i want to have butterbeer. :( and throw owls at people to convince them they're real! and i want to be the typical tourist with my camera glued to my hand and a huge smile on my face. D: i NEEEDD to go. NEED. NEED. NEED. i need it like i need breath. i need to buy jokes at zonkos joke shop. i need to eat at the three broomsticks and order butterbear at the hogshead. i need to send letters from the owlery and get my picture taken with the conductor from the hogwarts express! i need to visit the book store and i need to go to ollivanders wand store! you don't understand the extent of my nerdiness but at this moment, i'm fit with harry potter-itis and there's nothing you can do about it that our lovely medi-witch prof. pomfrey can't fix! and that made no sense! that's exactly how i feel right now.
godamnit...
I AM A HARRY POTTER NERD AND I AM NOT AFRAID TO SAY IT.
whew. that took a lot of steam.
today during tron though i got a vague story idea. i had no paper but i had a pen. so i wrote on the few blank pages in the book i was reading. i can no longer sell the book in our future garage sale but the idea is written down! woohoo!
and i finished another book. that's a record of... wait. 'Deep In Another World.' 'The Fluff Book' 'Get Well Soon'. 'Goodnight Beautiful.' 'Smile For The Camera'. FIVE books... but I think I may be missing some. Ah. Wells.
I love Helena Roberts, too.
