J.K. Rowling wrote a thing...

[thiliaarchive]

...and I haven't seen a single post about it on my flist! How??

Text under the cut in case you haven't read it on Pottermore or Tumblr yet... It's an article by Rita Skeeter.










LET'S TALK ABOUT IT!!!


- Harry with silver streaks - yes please. Plus another scar? Good to know for future drawings! (I'm still gonna keep changing his glasses to something sexier though~)
- Rita's hints at a marriage crisis cause Ginny's not around... what is going on there? ;)) (I don't mind Harry/Ginny, but obviously prefer shipping Harry with just about anyone else...)
- TEDDY!!! :') James! Albus! My babies. <333
- Harry "keeping a tighter reign on this wild boy" - yes, please! ;)
- The comment on Charlie still not being married :))
- Harry and Viktor apparently being pretty good friends!
- And... yeah. What about Draco and Scorpius? She could've squeezed them in somehow, hmph.

Yup yup. I liked it. I suppose some people are going to ignore it since they disregard the whole existence of the epilogue in the first place but... it's nice to have something again. Even if it's just a dumb Rita Skeeter article.

In other news, I'm at work and bored. I also want a new LJ layout but I can't find one I like. I deleted my LJ profile weeks ago and still haven't rewritten it... I think some LJ maintenance is in order (also friending/refriending/unfriending, probably, maybe, I don't know). I'm just so laaazzyyy.

I'm with you on the "it's really over" crying. My 6th grade teacher read to us from the first HP book and I was hooked. Every time a new book came out, I would be terrified of going to the midnight releases for fear of spoilers, but without fail I would wake up every morning with the new book on my desk because my dad went out and got it for me. And then I'd spend the entire day reading it. Ungh, just thinking about how much that meant to me makes me tear up!

Awww. My dad bought me the three first books in German and I didn't want to read them because I didn't like the covers (LOL), but then I did end up reading them and... yeah. Ugh, I miss waiting for another book to come out. :(( I don't think I've ever been or will ever be this attached to another series.

Haha. I have the first HP book in German, Spanish, Latin, and Ancient Greek so I can (one day) improve my language skills. I love seeing all the different covers.

I can think of worse things to have a long-term intense attachment to than a book series. I love that HP has brought so many people together and that 7 years later the fandom is still going strong.

Ooh, cool! I have 1-5 (or 6) in German, and the last few in English - but then I also bought a pretty edition of all the books in English a few years ago. Good investment since I'm probably gonna reread them a few more times ;)

And I know, right? I was just thinking about that today, wondering whether the HP fandom is still gonna be active in, say, 10-20 years. :D I'm mostly in other fandoms right now but lately, I've been slowly drifting back to HP for some reason. <3
