Description
I've been watching the movies and reading my favorite bits of the books for like the last week-and-a-half and I had to stop and marvel for a moment at just how far they've really come.I OWN NOTHING!

I was surprised at how much of a bad-a** Neville turned out to be. He was such a wuss in the first two!

Isn't that the best way?

It's so sad and amazing to see how far they go. I remember Hagrid in the Philosopher's Stone saying, "He's off ter the finest school of witchcraft and wizardry in the world. Seven years there and he won't know himself." And now it's just like, how the heck did you see that coming?

Yea. And I think Jo had it all planned from the start. How else would it all tie together in every way that can make a story intricate?

She must be a really organized writer. I wish I could be that organized.

Thanks, it truly makes makes my jaw drop every time I consider just how far they came over the corse of the books, then in the movies it was like we really saw them grow up, which we did in a way. All in all, I'm a fan of many things but Harry, his world, each and every person he met and the epic journey he met them on are all things that will always be with me, how about you? Sorry for dumping my philosophical crap on you but it's been building up for a while.

Don't apologize!!! I know EXACTLY what you mean, honestly. The good and the bad people/events, all in all, will stay with me forever. I've fallen in love with them. I look at how they acted/looked back in their first year and then I see them in what would've been their 7th year (if they had attended) and I'm in complete awe. They've grown up so much and it's just amazing. The series, the characters...I wanted to thank J.K. Rowling for them.

I hope you don't mind me running a few lessons of literature by you, it shouldn't take too long.
Harry Potter taught me that there is magic in everyone, we just need to look for it.
Percy Jackson taught and continues to teach me that anyone can be a hero if they try.
The Hunger Games made me realize just how much we glorify brutality.
Narnia Taught me that I would grow up, but I should never forget.
Finally, going way back now to something you've probably never heard of, the Clay Dragons taught me that imagination will only have any limits if you allow it to.
Thanks if you actually read all of that.

Of course I don't mind. I agree with the harry potter and Percy Jackson and Narnia completely! (i haven't read the hunger games and have no idea what Clay Dragons is.)

That's alright, they're kids books really, and I highly recommend The Hunger Games.

Alot of people recommend the series, I don't know...it doesn't look interesting to me at all.

Well it's your choice, but I use a policy of never judging before I actually read at least some of a book cause when I first saw The Lightning Thief, I flat out refused to read it cause somehow it got into my head that it would be dark and steam-punky, man was I wrong.
