Post Stephen King Bids Harry Potter Farewell

Stephen King, widely acclaimed writer and Harry Potter fan, wrote his formal farewell to the Potter era in his column in Entertainment Weekly magazine. With only two weeks to go until the final installment of the Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, is released, King expresses the sentiments of many loyal Harry Potter fans worldwide.

He writes:
Quote:
When it comes to Harry, part of me — a fairly large part, actually — can hardly bear to say goodbye. I’d guess that J.K. Rowling feels the same, although I’d also guess those feelings are mingled with the relief of knowing that the work is finally done, for better or worse.

And I’m a grown-up, for God’s sake — damn Muggle! Think how it must be for all the kids who were 8 when Harry debuted in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, with its cartoon jacket and modest (500 copies) first edition. Those kids are now 18, and whem they close the final book, they will be in some measure closing the book on their own childhoods — magic summers spent in the porch swing, or reading under the covers at camp with flashlights in hand, or listening to Jim Dale’s recordings on long drives to see Grandma in Cincinnati or Uncle Bob in Wichita. My advice to families containing Harry Potter readers: Stock up on the Kleenex. You’re gonna need it. It’s all made worse by one unavoidable fact: It’s not just Harry. It’s time to say goodbye to the whole cast from Moaning Myrtle to Scabbers the rat (a.k.a. Wormtail). Which leads to a interesting question — will the final volume satisfy Harry’s longtime (and very devoted) readers?
Quote:
But there’s comfort. There are always more good stories, and now and then there are great stories. They come along if you wait for them. And here’s something I believe in my heart: No story can be great without closure. There must be closure, because it’s the human condition. And since that’s how it is, I’ll be in line with my money in my hand on July 21.
And, I must admit, sorrow in my heart.
Thanks to TLC.

Wow...I never really liked Stephen King, but after this, I'm going to read some of his work. Wow, he put a lot of time and emotion into that.

I don't want to say goodbye either! I'm already tearing up.. I'm going to cause a river on july 21st over here! .

I don't think ANY book will ever be as great as HP is...Seriously.

I really really really hope Jo puts some type of thing at the end, like if anyone's still alive by that point. I hope to no end, that she seys what happens to everyone else in the future.. that would be just amazing .

Aw. I've gotta stop typing Too emotional over HP then I really should be!

Ya know, there's just something that really tugs at me about that... Because I read his Dark Tower series too. And I remember when I thought the series would never be finished after he got into that accident. Now with the way he talks about closure, I remember feeling the same about Roland and the gang. The need for closure there. It's awesome that my idol is writing is looking forward to the end of the this series, the same way I looked forward to the end of his. It's hard to do, but it's thanks to both JKR and King that I've got to this point... I can read Harry Potter without feeling embarrassed, and I can see King as someone who's human, and not just my idol. And now we get closure on Harry Potter, which I expect will be an excellent end to the series. I think nothing could be better.

Foreign Intrigue

The bittersweet end of a great era. Magic, tragedy, happiness, and the constant fight between the ranks of good and evil. Indeed, it is a sad time. Stephen said it. Harry Potter is part of our childhood and I couldn't imagine becoming the teenager than I am now without it.

Those long discussions with your friends, online or not, about the book.
The very enthusiatic and sometimes funny shipping, I'll definitley miss all of those.

Saying goodbye will be very difficult.
