Well today I joined the ranks of millions who have finished J.K. Rowling’s epic tale of the boy who lived. Up until recently my Harry Potter experience had been limited mainly to the movies.
I was never overly impressed, to be honest they slightly annoyed me with Potter’s lackluster magical abilities. Keep in mind I didn’t expect him to be Gandalf, but I was always left wishing he wasn’t such a punk. Like I said, the movies were my only exposure and I quickly found myself with an anti-Potter aura.
I can’t recall when, but I started to read a few of the actual books. While I still felt like he stunk as a wizard, more prone to blind luck or his friends abilities than his own talent, I couldn’t help enjoying the author’s storytelling abilities.
After reading the Order of the Phoenix I found myself looking forward to the last book. Would he live? Would he die? What about Snape? Ya da, da, duh. I began to sound a bit like a fanboy. Was it possible?
Nope. I still think he was a punk. Sorry. But I will read the books which I have overlooked, there is no denying that she spun an engaging tale worthy of at least one reading.
