Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

Midnight.

The only way for me to see Harry off.

Surrounded by people I don't know, but who are definitely not strangers. We were a community, decked in gold and red, in green and silver, in billowing black capes and owlish specs. The crowd cheered and laughed. We watched both Part 1 and 2. In Part 1 when Hermione yells, 'Take it off!' to Harry (about the horcrux), laughter. Rude, dirty laughter! When Harry stripped off to jump in the water; wolf whistles. And when people died :( the entire crowd whimpered.

There wasn't much missing, a few things were altered. There were a few minor minor parts that I would have changed. There were a few things I would have clutched hysterically on the cutting room floor (like a small child in the throes of a tantrum), like a glimpse of Teddy Lupin, or a small final scene with Harry's wand. But it was done beautifully. Dan, Rupert, Emma. You were so wonderful. Your hearts were truly in your performance. Noone could have done it better. I don't think anyone ever will.

It was just beautiful. What else could it be? I'm filled with equal parts happiness and sorrow.

Exactly how growing up feels.

Read em and weep.

I thought I was so original :) But I bet there's a million identical letters living in tearsoaked journals all over the world.

This is perfect. This is exactly what we're all feeling... wish I'd written it. haha.

Screen Junkies Goodbye Letter To Harry Potter

Wotcher Harry.

Though It All Ends, It's Not Really Goodbye.

11 years ago my ten year old self stumbled across this book in my school library :)

I had no idea that it was the third in a series. I had even less idea of how big a part of my childhood it would become.

Tonight's the last time I'll see a Harry Potter movie for the first time ♥

Phwoar!

Em-ma!

... IT'S TONIGHT!!!!!!!!! 10 HOURS TO GO!

Today. Slightly traumatic. Ruttage.

I'm struggling a bit today. I really don't want to be negative, but ugh man, I need an outlet. Bear with me.

I think my boyfriend will be leaving for the mines.

I feel a whole bunch of things. Guilt: last week I had almost hoped he'd go. (I was mad, ok). Sorrow: for what I had hoped my life, our lives would look like next year. More guilt: because there are times when I doubt that future. Anger. Isn't this my life too? And then sometimes, a sense of calm. Everything happens for a reason. We just don't always know why.

Ah, youth.

Guh.

Secondly, I'll be seeing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows at midnight tonight. I'm sad and excited and happy and emotional.

So. very. emotional.

Also. I'm at work. And I'm behind on my articles. If I like writing so much then WHY do I procrastinate... SO MUCH? What's wrong with me?!!!!!!!!

It's crazy how our decisions change our lives, throwing our life trajectory in a completely new direction, catapulting us to places we never expected. Yet we have to make these decisions with no idea if it's the 'right' one.

Maybe there is no 'right choice'. There are only different outcomes, and each is different, each is both right and wrong.

The infuriating beauty of life?

Out of Joy.

Dude.

It's premiere day.

It's all over the news.

Heart-wrenching. Thrilling.

The end.

Hi. I'm Sara, and I wish Harry Potter was real.

I'm fresh home from the cinema - face fully dry of tears for the first time in a few hours - and all I could think on the way home was, I am in love with that world.

I have this terribly passionate way of falling wholly in love with something and completely losing sight of everything else. I love losing myself into my favourite book. There are a few, but Harry is an old friend. He's a lifelong friend to me, and I await the release of part two of the Deathly Hallows with bated breath.

I want it now!

Bloody hell Harry, it was good.
