My First Blog Post

Happy birthday, Christian! :D

Judging by the title, you can probably guess that this is the first blog post I’ve ever written. I’m a little nervous because what’s fun, exciting, or important to me may not be to you. But, I guess this is my blog so I can post what I want to. ;)

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows CoverFor my first blog post, I thought I’d tell you what I’m excited about right now. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final book in the series, is going to be released on July 21. Only 28 days away! :D If you’re a Harry Potter fan, I know you share my excitement. It’ll be nice to finally see how everything works out and ends.

I have bittersweet feelings about the release of the final book. I do want to know how everything turns out in the end.  But, at the same time, I don’t want the anticipation of future releases of Harry Potter books to be gone. JK Rowling has created an amazing world and I think a lot of people, including me, will be sad when it comes to an end.

A lot of fans have theories about what’s going to happen in the final book. Honestly, I didn’t really come up with any theories after I read Half-Blood Prince because I don’t want to be disappointed if things don’t turn out the way I want them to or imagine they will. But, with that being said, I do think Harry’s going to die. :? (I hope I’m wrong as long as JK doesn’t kill Ron or Hermione in lieu of Harry.) I have thought Harry was going to die ever since the prophecy was revealed in Order of the Phoenix. And, as the release date to Deathly Hallows comes closer, I’m also starting to wonder if Harry’s one of Voldemort’s horcruxes. If he is, it supports my theory of him dying.

I’m currently re-reading all six books. I started Sorcerer’s Stone yesterday. I know I’m going to be doing a lot of reading in the next month, but it’s all worth it. ;) I don’t want to miss anything and I want everything to be fresh in my mind before I settle in for the final adventure. As I read each book, I may develop some more theories.  If I do, I’ll be sure to post them on my blog.

    I am the same way. I like to re-read all of the Harry Potter books before the next one comes out so that everything is fresh in my mind and I don’t miss anything in the new book!
    Love the website!!!

    I, like you, love the Harry Potter world. When you sent me that email about the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando, I was so excited! I made my husband promise to take me.
    I have thought about Harry being a Horcrux but I don’t think he is. She better not kill him off…I want a nice happy ending.
    Great site!
