Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

i really want to kiss J.K Rowling's feet, for having given me such joy over the past 10 years for the magic she wove with her words.

it's really sad that there is not going to be anything to look forward to anymore. =( i do feel a sense of loss! it's almost as if i grew up with harry, ron and hermione!

was up real early this morning after much deliberation last night over which is the best time to start queueing up at singpost like the true-blue kiasu singaporean i was. imagine, i actually wound up my alarm to wake me at 6.30 on a no-sch saturday!!! and i was of the house by 6.40am, clean teeth and all!

imagine my trepidation when i realised there was already a queue outside popular bookstore. i sped to the post office and....

CHEY. not a single soul!!! YAY! i am first in line! *rubs hands in glee*

haha i was right after all in my deduction that singpost would have almost no queue! heehee. *pats myself on the head*

but of course it would have been pretty fun to bask in the excitement alongside other like-minded potter fans... imagine if i were at Borders or London! my god. the excitement must have been palpable! i could have dressed up as a witch to collect my book lor... that would really have been fun!

started reading at 7.20am i think, was sorely tempted to skip the gathering at guorui's house so that i can finish the book in peace! but alas, it would have been very rude of me. so i went! and brought my book along, and proceeded to be really anti-social at his house! (buried my nose in the book for two hours, not even bothering to eat lunch)

ah well, i did emerge after i begin to feel to anti- socialist. heh.

and so, after a fragmented 9 hrs read, i finally finished the book! it was wonderful! a befitting last book to a series of such wonderful stories.

SPOILERS AHEAD!!! THOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!





i am really relieved that the trio of best friends remain alive! i would have been devastated if one of them didnt make it! i am sure legions of fans would be rioting in the streets right now lor, the book being the worldwide phenomenon it is!

its so sad that hedwig and dobby had to die. SIGH.

i wish J.K Rowling could have added even more suprises in the tricky relationship harry shares with his aunt's family! dudley was quite funny. hah never did think he would have it in him to miss harry!

the suspense and the many twists and turns and gazillion facts J.K Rowling threw at us really delights me! i feel like i am on a treasure hunt lor. although i feel abit lost sometimes, but i think it's great to discuss the story with other like-minded fans! so fun!

i wish the book was thicker. 607 pages only. abit disappointing considering the last three books were so fat!

i cant wait for the movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they better do this book justice! even if it has to be a 4 hr movie!!!


ok. enough raving. i shall go read it a second time. heehee.
