Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Finally, some news about the last of the Harry Potter series!

And this is real because I know this from Barnes and Noble. But noooo, it's not available for ordering yet. However, you can sign up to be among the first ones to know when it IS available for ordering. Crazy! Up until now, I only notice signs like, "Preorder now!" and not "Sign up now and we'll let you know when you can preorder!"

Harry Potter was the book that got me into reading. It was at the beginning of my third year during high school. I remember thinking that reading novels instead of mangas is a sign of growing up. (I do not claim this as a fact. It's just me and my thoughts). So, when I saw the promo for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone at the bookstore, it caught my attention. I bought my first Harry Potter and I was hooked immediately. However, this book was the Indonesian version.

I don't remember how I figured out that there were sequels to the book. Probably through my classmates. I got my book before the craze happened at my high school. So by the time everybody was getting to get a hold of the book, I've finished reading it and was trying to get one of my friend to read it. I think I forced her to borrow my copy. She was so skeptical about it just because she doesn't want to do what everyone was doing. She wanted to be unique or something. But hah! As soon as she started reading, she finished it in 3 days and now, she's a bigger fan than I am. Funny how that works...

So now it is 7 years since then... WOW! 7 years.... I can't wait to read this last book. But it's sad too because that means I'll have nothing to look forward for after this book. Oh wait, there'll still be the movies... ^-^
