The Harry Potter 8th

“I know he will.”

The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well.

                  ——Harry Potter Ⅶ 

This is the last chapter Nineteen years later in the Harry Potter 7. Closing the book the scenario left in my brain for about 9 years. Chasing J.K.Rowling’s pace from 1997 to 2007 constantly, every fan of Harry Potter grow up with a dream of attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, learning , flying to your destination with a broom, playing a round of auto-moving chess with your friends and watching the renowned professors talking with you in their portrait drawn hundreds years ago. All of us have imagined shouting “Accio book!” to get your textbooks and speaking out “Deletrius!” to be invisible among people immediately. In addition, listen to Severus Snape’s lessons and try to get good grades for a prize for Gryffindor. But reading the scenario that Harry Potter sends his children to Platform Nine and Three Quarters, the King Station to Hogwarts School with Ginny, his wife nineteen years later, we have to accept the ending and say goodbye to this series.

Recently, after a farewell to Harry Potter series for almost a decade, an eighth book called Harry Potter and the Cursed Child published the day before yesterday, the day that is not only Harry Potter’s birthday but also J.K.Rowling’s birthday. I was so excited and felt very regretted after I know I missed the book being sold in Kroger Supermarket that day. However, my friend, another HP fan comforted me that this book not as pure as the previous 7 books because it doesn’t belong to Rowling’s works strictly. As a loyal fan of J.K.Rowling, he defined this book as a Posterior Plot and refused to buy it. It seems that this book is to him what Muggle to the pure-blood wizards.



Different from him, I am a fan of HP but not a loyal fan to Ms. Rowling. Maybe if it was 2007, I would refuse to buy this 8th book because only can the original series gave me a pure feelings of magic. However, 9 years later, anything that is related to Harry Potter reminds me of the simple but meaningful memories of reading magical novels as a child. I cherish every moment, everything that is relevant to HP now, igniting my desire of imagination. Just as a piece of news I read yesterday, fans don’t care.
