The Boy Who'll Live Forever... in Fan Fiction

Next generation, anyone?

Hello howdy how-d’ya-do!

Remember the Potterchat blog hop/scavenger hunt I’ve been poking y’all to join? There have been marvelous blog posts so far discussing the magic, favorite moments, and bad guys in the Harry Potter books, and MORE. If you’d like to join the discussions, check the list of blogs on this post.

So today it’s MY TURN to dazzle you lovely Potterheads with my deep understanding of the epic series… or at least I hope you’ll be amused by my attempts. Enjoy!

Fairy Tales and Beedle the Bard

I have been debating what to blog about today, but nothing useful or fun sprung up, so I decided to wing it and do a book review. Then again, the book I read most recently is The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K.Rowling. I can hear you protesting that you've had enough of Harry Potter from me, but... well, I'm winging it, so it doesn't count. Ha.

What struck me as I re-read this little gem I found in my bookcase, dwarfed by bigger and heavier books (I'd rather not give titles because then you'd know my darkest secrets), was that it bore just as much strength as those other books surrounding it. With only 108 pages of illustrated magic, Beedle's Tales was a literary treat I swallowed without chewing first. 

The Deathly Hallows and My (lack of) Catharsis

WARNING: BOOK AND MOVIE SPOILERS AHEAD!

I watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 today.

Throughout the whole movie, I felt like something was ending, something BIG. Later I said to my mum that it didn’t just feel like something had ended. It felt more like a part of ME had ended as well.
