one; That was the first graphic I've made in a really long time. Guess Mr. Padawhack is what it takes to pull me out of my lazy Photoshop block. Heh.


two; Joining in the freak out, OMG DEATHLY HALLOWS. I'm kinda screwed though, since I'm still re-reading Goblet of Fire. I should really skip straight to Half Blood Prince, but I'm still stubbornly clinging on the thought that if I don't sleep, I should be able to finish everything by 7.01am, July 21. Why oh why didn't I start sooner? Okay, forget it, I''m moving on to Half Blood Prince.


three; I should write something about the end of Harry Potter, shouldn't ? (NO SPOILERS) Something about how it has changed my life completely and how it is most possibly the best piece of literature and adventure in this century? Uh well. It is quite something, I have to say. I have the utmost admiration for Ms. Rowling. The world that she has created is nothing short of amazing. From Hogwarts to Diagon Alley,  from Albus Dumbledore to Severus Snape, from Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans to Butterbeer, she has invented a universe so enthralling that you can't help being sucked in. (I remember back in Primary School, one guy insisted to a teacher that we should take the broomsticks from our classrooms and play Quidditch during our Physical Ed. lesson. It was hilarious.)

Not only is the story utterly captivating, her style of writing is potentially cynical and so sarcastic at times, which makes it fun and very entertaining. What amazes me the most, however, is how the stories have substance. It isn't singularly blunt action adventure. The underlying themes about friendship, courage, love, family, among others, ground the stories in realism even which in unbelievable settings.

Rowling is, perhaps, the only author that can write thousands of pages and still not lose her readers among the millions of words and chunks of sentences. Some may say she's overrated, but look at the status of Harry Potter now, 2 million copies pre-ordered on Amazon alone. It's a worldwide phenomenon, and The Boy Who Lived will definitely continue to live on. J.K Rowling, and Harry Potter, is beyond any rating.

I got a little carried away there. I should go back and read my Goblet of Fire Half Blood Prince Goblet Order of the Phoenix. Grr.
