"Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry. But why should that mean it's not real?"
So, before my days as a sytycd obsessed (well, obsessed might make me sound crazy, but i do love it!), and even before i knew what Hollister was, i was absolutely obsessed with Harry Potter and even more the actress who played Hermione in the Harry Potter movies, Emma Watson. Kelsee and I both were. lol. We had these folders full of Emma Watson pictures, and quotes, and interviews, and everything you could imagine! That's just an interesting little fact i thought I'd share while I am on the subject of Harry Potter :D
Last year, as pretty much everyone on the face of the earth knows the final HP book came out. The same day i was at the gym with a personal trainer who was killing me! lol. Anyway, after i was released from the gym my mom took me and my sister to Wal-Mart to purchase the book. We weren't going to have to fight over it, like we did when Eclipse first came out and we only had one copy, because i was the only on in my family who's read past the fourth book. The following day i couldn't move! When i attempted to sit up in my bed i couldn't! My abs hurt SO bad because i had been forced to do so many exercises, so i tried to pull myself up by grabbing onto my sheets and hoisting myself up (which killed my very sore arms!) and then i tried to lift my legs out of bed, but it was literally impossible! I grabbed my legs with my arms and had to move them both and then grab onto my bed's headboard to stand up. I have never been this sore in my entire life! Even after tough conditioning at dance! I think it took me a half hour to get out bed. So the entire day i spent in bed reading the 7th Harry Potter book. I finished it that day.
Where exactly am i going with this? Well, being a year later and deciding that I've run out of all good books in the world and decided to re-read the 6th and 7th Harry Potter books. I would've re-read the 5th, but our neighbors have abducted it and they are now packing everything up because they are moving and so i gave up on them ever returning it. Maybe it is just me, but when i start a book i always think it will never end. Sometimes in a good way. More like, I don't want it to end. Same goes for these. Of course, i knew how it ended, but as i got to reading them again i realized i didn't remember anything! I had to text Kelsee and ask her if Fred or George dies in the book...I was hoping that i had not remembered that particular part correctly. So within days i finished the 6th book. had Dumbledore really died? Yeah, i remembered that too from my previous reading of the Deathly Hallows. I thought since the books every now and then remind me of The Lord of the Rings (another former "obsession") that like Gandalf, Dumbledore would return. Anyway...
As i read quickly through the 7th I had pretty much forgotten every detail. I finished it about 2 hours ago, and i once again refused that it was finished. How could it be finished? Tears rolled down my cheek. That whole chapter "kings cross" or whatever it's called where Harry talks to Dumbledore made me cry. It hadn't before. Especially when Harry says something along the lines of "Is this real, or has it all just been happening inside my head" and Dumbledore replies with "of course it has been happening inside your head, but why should that mean it's not real?" That kind of stuff has always fascinated me. It's like the movie "The Dust Factory". I doubt very many people have seen it, but it's like what takes place when you're unconscious and stuff...And i cried like crazy when after everything happens Dumbledore goes with Hermione and Ron up to Dumbledore's office and sees Dumbledore crying in the picture. And of course the Chapter, 19 years later was sobbing. It doesn't really answer all the questions i had of course. How could it be over? Just like that? It's like LOTR though. "how could the world go back to normal when so much bad had happened?" It's crazy how much those 2 books are similar. I admire JK Rowling being able to write such a story, she had to have had it all planned out was was going to happened from the 1st book. It's brilliant. I wish i could someday write a book so complex one day.
I was planning on rereading the Twilight series again after HP since the next book in coming out in august. But instead i think i might go back and read all the Harry Potter books. Though it might test my patience since I have seen the 1sy & 2nd movies so much. So i might just go and buy the 5th book and start over from there and then get onto Twilight.
Much Love,
