| | |  Harry Potter and My Deathly Hollowness
Clues, heart break, mourning and more discussed in Harvard's online magazine, The Harvard Independent. The article covers many things from whether or not an HP book is instantly the best book ever written to theories and clues. Quote:
On the one hand, it’s fitting that Rowling is ending the juggernaut with book seven. I certainly respect her for making the tough choice to stick to the plan, and not pander to the desires of fans praying for spin-offs. Plus, you’ll notice — or, well, I will — that seven is described in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince as the most powerfully magical number. (Seems to have worked, so far as book sales are concerned.)
On the other hand, it seems more painful now that it’s finished. The lovely and talented Rowling, now forty-one and richer than the Queen, has set the release date of Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows for July 21, and millions of children age 9-12 — and other, non-recommended readers, including myself — will
read it nonstop until we know how it all ends.
Read the complete story on the Harvard site!  | |

I still can't believe we're looking forward to the last book and that after that there will be no more Harry Potter books for anyone 
Nice article though

Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.

It's so awesome that even Harvard is creating articles about HP!! It going to be so sad to see it all end-but it'll live on in the hearts of the fans forever!

Harvard is one of my favorite Universitys. 7 is my lucky number too, but I'm sad that 7 is the end.

It is sad that its ending but I'm glad. Finally we can end our journey with Harry.  The books were awesome and I'm just glad that I was lucky enough to be opened minded about them all and really enjoy them.
Now when I have my own children it will be exciting to see them take the same journey that I took years before them. I'll get to experience it all over again through new eyes. <3 | |
