J.K. Rowling on The End of Harry Potter

J.K. Rowling on The End of Harry Potter
Are A Socialite's Life fans also Harry Potter fans? J.K. Rowling has posted a message on her official website upon completion of the last Harry Potter book . She's sad. I mean, she's sad that it's over. I don't mean she's sad as in pathetic. Hell, I admire this broad. She had nothing, sold a book, captured the imagination of the planet and became a multi-millionaire. She hustles!

I always knew that Harry's story would end with the seventh book, but saying goodbye has been just as hard as I always knew it would be. Even while I'm mourning, though, I feel an incredible sense of achievement. I can hardly believe that I've finally written the ending I've been planning for so many years. I've never felt such a mixture of extreme emotions in my life, never dreamed I could feel simultaneously heartbroken and euphoric.
Yeah, it kinda continues on in that vein. But she sorta hints that the Harry Potter universe might not be as dunzo as you think. Or something like that. Keep reading.
Some of you have expressed a (much more muted!) mixture of happiness and sadness at the prospect of the last book being published, and that has meant more than I can tell you. If it comes as any consolation, I think that there will be plenty to continue arguing and speculating about, even after 'Deathly Hallows' comes out. So if you're not yet ready to quit the message boards, do not despair...

I'm almost scared to admit this, but one thing has stopped me collapsing in a puddle of misery on the floor. While each of the previous Potter books has strong claims on my affections, 'Deathly Hallows' is my favourite, and that is the most wonderful way to finish the series.


Well, there ya have it. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" comes out on July 21st. Frankly, I'm more excited about my next colonoscopy but that's just me.
