Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
30 March 2007
I don’t talk much about Harry Potter, but I am a fan. Not a rabid fan, I enjoy reading the books and watching the films, but I’m not obsessive about it. I don’t have book seven on pre-order, for example. I’ll wait till Borders is selling off their excess stock to get a bargain.
I’m not looking forward to the series ending, but all good things must. I don’t need to read about a middle-aged Harry trying to organise a has-been life. Although, I must say that I did enjoy reading Sue Townsend’s renditions of Adrian Mole from age 13 and 3/4 to his early middle age (sheer ordinariness has never been so entertaining).
What I find most amusing is other authors being super concerned about Harry’s fate:
U.S. authors John Irving and Stephen King were sufficiently concerned about the fictional hero’s fate to urge Rowling to spare him.
I quote because John Irving is my favourite author in the whole wide revolving world. And I’m glad he likes Harry Potter, too.
