Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone was as if a drug, to something so addictive, that now 10 years down the line, every dedicated fan is geared up to see how the movie turns out. To the extent, that if asked we fans can actually quote the dialogues exactly as they are in the book, from crucial scenes.
More importantly, it is no longer a mere work of fiction. It is a phenomenon. You'll find it to be such a highly discussed topic, its almost like it actually exists. At the back of everyone's mind, Hogwarts is actually a school which exists. You call me delusional? Ask the others.
J K Rowling did justice with the series, by giving us the best ending possible, but it still lingers in our head as to why did it ever have to end. Fans all across the world, are going to cry buckets when its finally over. This movie, is like the last string we are hanging onto. But what we forget is lthat it can NEVER END. Sure we won't be running back to the bookstores, standing in queues to buy the newly printed copies of the books, and then submerge ourselves into yet another extension of this legacy. Neither will we see the stars behind the movies, that is Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, dazzle us, with an even more lively portrayal of what is only printed. In a way, let our imagination run free!
But, we'll always have the books, to go back down the memory lane, revisiting what once made us chuckle, made us cry., left us stunned, or in awe by how magnificent a world of fantasy could be.
Like I said, its a phenomenon. Its almost impossible to just push it aside, once its over. Its always going to be a part of a journey, of us being just kids, to now teenagers, and some already out of their teens.
Its not the end, Its only the beginning, of something bigger.. And since we can alter it at our will, something even better.
