I last read The End of Harry Potter? by David Langford back in 2007, before Deathly Hallows came out.
Reading the book 4 years later, when the end is really here, brings back fond memories and a whole new perspective.
This book made an impression on me because it is highly entertaining and the author speculates what would happen in the final book by J.K. Rowling. Like I said, reading it before and after brings a fresh outlook as to how you see things.
He made many clever guesses and speculations about which side Snape is on, whether Dumbledore is really dead and who will die in the battle. With his deep research, he wonders if there is a part of Voldemort's soul in Harry's body, which is very insightful, I might say, as we all know how it goes.
I particularly like the various tongue-in-cheek alternative endings he had, such as the merging of J.R.R Tolkien's Lord of the Rings with Harry Potter, Harry Potter and Stars Wars, and of course, Parseltongue.
He still made me laugh after all this years.
7-21-07 is a significant day. The last book, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows will be released at this date. Yay!
I've been waiting for this book since Half-Blood Prince. Now, at last, the book will be mine! Just have to wait for 4 more weeks...
I'm not happy that I bought the book from a bookstore. I should have bought it from the post office, at least they deliver it to my house... There surely will be long queues... I bought the children version but the adult version picture is nice. Anyway, my father said I can buy the adult version after the price have dropped. I can finally complete my collection of Harry Potter books.
Meanwhile, I entertain myself by reading The End of Harry Potter? by David Langford. It is a highly entertaining book. You should read it yourself. There are some parts which is really
hilarious.
Another event coming up is the release of the 5th movie, Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix. I am not really into the movies. I find that they do not capture the scenes properly. My favourite so far are the first two movies. However, I've seen the trailer for The Order of the Phoenix, I think this should be a movie worth watching.
On the downside, school is starting. That is the day I dread. School starts on Monday, 25th of June. "O" levels MT oral exams is coming.
Nevertheless, I've my precious book to keep me company.
4 more weeks...
