Contradictio in Terminis

 I still feel so hollow. Like part of me has just been wiped out of existence. HARRY POTTER, Y U HAVE TO END?!  

I swear, if I think about it too hard, I will start crying and never stop. It feels like there's this gigantic pent-up wave of emotion in me, waiting to bust forth greatly with joy except not and swallow me whole.  

All I can process is ;LASKDJF;ALSKDTASK;ASDGKA MY CHILDHOOD!!! DDDD;;;;;;;;

HOMG HOMG HOMG HOMG HOMGGGGGGGG JUST GOT BACK FROM SEEING HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 1!!!!!!!!!!!

( there are no actual spoilers here/it's already past time for spoiler cuts anyway, but it is ALL IN CAPS, so cut to spare your eyes )

THIS MOVIE HAS WON ALL THE THINGS, I HAVE EYES FOR NO OTHER.

AND THROUGH THE ENTIRE THING, PEOPLE IN THE THEATER ONLY TOLD ME TO SHUT UP TWICE, SO W/E W/E HATERS GONNA ROTATE.

There are two parts to this post. Part One is exponentially less exciting than Part Two, so I'll try to make it short and sweet.

( Part One: coffee )


Part Two


OKAY SO. GUESS WHAT HAPPENED THIS MORNING? AT TWELVE-OH-ONE AYEMME? THAAAAAT'S RIGHT! I SAW

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince


( SPOILERS FOR HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE!!!!! )

* ERRARE HUMANUM ETS. (Sed flocci non facimus.)

WALL-E!

That movie was SO CUTE and happy and beautiful, and sadly I think very indicative of the human race, and OH MY GOD I LOVE IT. Wall-E is adorable and ridiculous and amazing, and Eve was kickass and AWESOME. Although M-O was probably my favourite character. "Woah, woah, woah woah!" AND THE DEFUNCT ROBOTS WERE PRICELESS. ANARCHY ON THE CRUISE SHIP!

A++++ movie.

ALSO I READ THE TALES OF BEEDLE THE BARD. WHICH WERE ALSO AMAZINGLY AWESOME AND HAVE FOOTNOTES AND COMMENTARY BY ALBUS DUMBLEDORE; YES, YOU READ THAT RIGHT - ALBUS DUMBLEDORE.

Who is brilliant and funny and witty and sarcastic and dead.

NB: The line "humans inadvertantly choose the things that are the worst for them"* is to Harry Potter as "I wish I could quit you" is to Brokeback Mountain.

*paraphrased because I can't actually remember the exact wording

...um, also I might kind of be watching the BBC show Merlin. It is definitely a great outlet for escapism. Dragons and knights and subtext magic, oh my!

So I meant to post this about a week ago...

And it's finally here! Sit back, relax, and scoff at enjoy a taste of my reactions to and thoughts on HP7.

Well, frankly, my first thought was "holy crap, this is the seventh book! Once I'm done this, there will be no more Harry Potter." And then I channeled Shoebox  "What am I to do? Where am I to go? WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF LIFE?!"

After which, I finally settled down to read. And what a read it was.

Holy goodness. I just-- MAJOR INCOHERENCY, PEOPLE!
Here, I'll try to organize it. Please note: these points are not in any sort of order from least to greatest, ot anything like that. I just typed what I thought.



And now:


Anyway, all in all, brilliant book.  Wonderfully twisty and a perfect finish (ignoring epilogue) to this  spellbinding series.
