"It All Ends": Thank you J.K Rowling

From the moment I picked up Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone I was hooked. I impatiently waited for the next book to be released and often times picked it up at a midnight sale just so I could be one of the first to read it. As a self professed bookworm, I am in awe of what J.K. Rowling was able to do for the literary world. In an age of online skimming and short-hand texts she got kids to step away from the tv, away from the internet and pick up an actual book.

In 2001, my love for Harry, Ron, Hermione and everything Hogwarts expanded when the first movie was released. For 10 years I have waited and watched the story come to life on the big screen and never once in eight movies have I been disappointed. I sat today in the theater with Jon and we shared our last Harry Potter movie date. It was truly bittersweet. 

I look forward to the day when J and E hang on every word J.K. Rowling penned and beg me to read them just one more page.
