i think i could argue that not high school graduation, college graduation, or even starting a real-life job marked the end of my childhood, but instead today it is officially coming to a close. no, i am not getting married, having a baby, or moving across the country (yet hopefully!)...instead the series that single-handedly was the most influential literary and cinematic piece of my childhood, finally comes to a close.
i was lucky enough to see an advanced screening of the movie last night (thanks dad!) and going into the theater i was as excited as i have been for the previous seven films, but also remarkably sad. after 14 years, i no longer had this to look forward to...no more midnight showings, staying up late for a week in the summer after the newest book comes out because i can't put it down, or anxiously counting down to the next release. instead, now finally, it has come to a close and as such, the final chapter of my childhood as come to a close as well.

i am not that ashamed to admit that i will probably see the movie at least 2 if not 3 more times and i suppose there is one final countdown that i can start...when amazon has a complete series of all 8 movies. i have a feeling that a few of my friends and i will be having some serious harry potter marathon watching sessions. totally cool.
