Actually finishing it was the most remarkable feeling I've ever had... [I felt] euphoria, devastated... I was in a hotel room on my own, sobbing my heart out. I downed half a bottle of champagne in one and went home with mascara all over my face.
J. K. Rowling
On finishing her seventh and last Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows.
I sat and thought for four (delayed train) hours, and all the details bubbled up in my brain, and this scrawny, black-haired, bespectacled boy who didn't know he was a wizard became more and more real to me.

How the Harry Potter tale came to her during a delayed train journey.
Writing for me is a kind of compulsion, so I don't think anyone could have
made me do it, or prevented me from doing it.
J. K. Rowling
Probably the very best thing my earnings have given me is absense of worry. I have not forgotten what it feels like to worry whether you'll have enough to pay the bills. Not to have to think about that any more is the biggest luxury in the world.
J. K. Rowling
If you've literally been worrying, "Will the money last until the end of the week?" you will never, ever complain about having money.
J. K. Rowling
I personally never expected to be in the papers. The height of my ambition for these books was, well frankly, to get reviewed. A lot of children's books don't even get reviewed.
J. K. Rowling
I imagined being a famous writer would be like being Jane Austen, being able to sit at home in the parsonage and your books would be very famous.

I didn't think they'd rake through my bins, I didn't expect to be photographed on the beach through long lenses.

Yay! In a matter of months, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be in theaters! This is the final book, but not the final movie, as it is been put into two parts. But it's in 3D! After you go watch the movie, put your opinion on the fan wall, please. I'll put mine. I can't wait! I'm so ready! I've been watching every HP movie and I have all the books, and Harry's wand! I finished the series three years ago, but I plan on re-reading it. The first preview of the 1st half has been released. I heard these awesome lines. Check it:
"Why do you live?" Voldemort said.
"Because I have something worth living for." Harry said.
Harry said that in another movie, so I guess he was emphasizing it. Check the fan wall later for my favorite book, movie, and quote! See ya!

The Harry Potter Series is wonderful thing. It is a world full of magic that just sparks your imagination. All the creatures are magical and wonderful. The series is full of adventure and romance. I love Harry's character. He has lost his parents, he sometimes feels emotionally challenged, and there is a small dark side to him. It really brings out the mystery in the story. It is an ongoing plot that is a continuing struggle with Lord Voldemort, and every time they think that they've caught him he escapes. I own all the books and have seen all the movies in the theaters. It is full of suspense and action. I think the biggest mystery right now is who will Harry end up with. He has gone through a variety of girls that he likes, although he has always been wavering on the thin line between another girl and Hermione. I guess if you've already read the books you know, but I'm not going to spoil the surprise.
So I was looking on Facebook earlier and just saw an event posted declaring February 20th to be Harry Potter day! =D So this is for all Harry Potter fans to dress up on and show their pride and happiness that Voldemort has finally fallen. I find this to be a great way to keep the spirit of these amazing novels alive because even though we have limited Harry Potter releases left to celebrate, now we can celebrate every year on the 20th of February! I don't know why this date was chosen, but I have a pretty good idea of why it was chosen for this year. Also on February 20th, there will be a lunar eclipse at around 9 PM I believe, so it sounds like a pretty magical day! So Harry Potter fans, dress up on the 20th! Wear your House scarves, sweaters, and ties! Whip out those wands and cast a spell or two and keep the spirit alive!
