Harry Potter
July 20th 2007 15:03
Good morning everyone,
Hope everyone is good today. Tonight, the last Harry Potter book comes out. I am a fan of the series, I mean, who isn't? I just can't believe that this woman has struck it rich like this. It is every author's dream. I have mentioned that I have written a childrens book, which I am hoping to have published. In my wildest dreams, I can't expect it to take off like that. Okay, maybe in my wildest dreams, but the Harry Potter is a once in a lifetime phenomenon. The only thing that annoys me,is JK Rowling herself. I have heard that she is extremely difficult to work with and has an oversized ego. Who knows if that is true or not, but I do have a couple of friends "in the know" and that is what they tell me. Perhaps, it is jealousy by others and it makes perfect sense that is what it might be, however, I have heard it from more than one source. Maybe she has a right, but I hate that. I understand that she came from humble beginnings, and if that is the case, then even more so should you be nice to everyone. You've got to treat everybody the way you want to be treated. If I ever do make it as an author, I hope I remember all of that. As far as the books themselves, there is a special event happening tonight at several of the book stores. My oldest is 6 and she may like it, but it is very late for this to be going on. I am weighing the pros of her having a nice time and enjoying the evening, and the cons of having to deal with crankiness all day tomorrow. I think it will be a gametime decision.I will probably hear all about what happened in the books before I actually read them, and I will still read it but I will be annoyed while I am doing it. I understand two characters die in the book and I hate that too. I am a sappy, need a happy ending guy. I hated the part where Dunbledore died last book and I will really hate it this book when it happens to somebody. All I know, is that she better not kill off any of the three kids. It will really sour the whole thing for me and will turn my fondness of the earlier books. I want that the good guys to live nicely. I don't like killing off kids. It still kills me about Bridge to Terabithia. I am one of the few who never read the book when I was younger. When I took my kids to see the movie, I just thought it was a family fantasy movie. When the character of Leslie died, I was bawling like a baby. I didn't expect it and my kids were stunned. My daughter actually tried to cheer me up and told me that the girl was still alive and was in Terabithia. Now, I wasn't actually bawling, but I did have my eyes well up. But all around me in the theater, I heard SNIFF! SNIFF!, so I was not alone. Anyway, that's it for today. Hope everybody has a great weekend.
Later,
Jonathan
