We are fools for Christ's sake

Well it's done. It's all over. I've dreaded the day when I would be able to say this for the past, wow like 7 years, but...

...there will be no new Harry Potter books.

Ever.

They're all done. I will never the rest of my life be able to look forward to reading a page out of a Harry Potter book for the first time.

Never.

Now obviously I'm embellishing a little for the sake of humor, but not that much really. I'm seriously sad that I've finished reading all the Harry Potter books. I started reading them (reluctantly I might add) after the 4th book had already been published so I was able to read through the first 4 books without interruption. I envy people who haven't even started reading them as they'll have that luxury with all 7 volumes. However, I think that having to wait a few years in between books only made them more enjoyable. It's probably akin to waiting for The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi to come out, only with better writing.

My only consolation is that Mrs. Rowling won't follow the path of a certain jowly director and ruin a perfectly good epic with a set of disdainful follow-ups.

At least I pray to god she doesn't.
