My name is Benjamin. I come from the UK (although I was born in New Zealand) and I have been described as having a ginger personality. Whatever that means. I assume they're referring to my hair and my Ronald Weasley nature. Aside from that, I'm the only male blogger worth knowing.

You can thank Amber for that lovely introduction, but you deserve much more than just a small paragraph showing my nutty nature, therefore if you do wish to find out more, please visit the

End of an era.

For the past 10 years, Harry Potter and his dynamic duo of Ron and Hermoine, have been a major part of my life. Not only the books, but the films and my friends being extras within the latest film. And as you should know, Saturday 21st July 2007 was the end of that era with the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Ok, Ok! I know it took me a while to finish the book, but I am a very slow reader. As Amber would back me up with that - I finished about 1 hour ago having got the book on Saturday morning. I did not get a chance to read more than 100 pages on Saturday because I suddenly got struck with a case of travel sickness whilst out travelling with my parents.

That was something I was going to post about when it happened. After years of travelling back and forth from Spain, or going on long trips to Cornwall and reading non-stop in the car. The one day that I am dieing to read a book. The book which end’s an era. I get car sickness and end up throwing up by the side of the road. Maybe too much information for you, but aren’t you glad I didn’t dedicate a whole blog to it?!

This won’t be a long entry containing a review of every chapter, or reveal any spoilers, or criticize JK Rowling’s writing skills, but just to say. I don’t think I can let go of Harry Potter. ;(
I choose to not accept that there will not be an 8th book. I mentioned this to Amber and she commented that after reading the Epilogue, she is not sure she wants it to continue.

So this is the plan.

Cast obliviate! on all the readers around the world so they forget the Epilogue, and then imperio JK Rowling, and force her to right an 8th Book, creating a story line which will last another 6 or 7 books. Sounds like a plan? So every wizard and witch, house-elf or goblin. Grab your wands and get casting. I shall be at the Room of Requirement hatching a plan on how to reach JK Rowling and I will contact you with further details using our fake Galleons, a way in Dumbledore’s Army was able to communicate!

Over and out.

I’m truly in denial here. I haven’t really thought about it. I had wonderful avoidance techniques!

I made an icon asking people to obliviate me. Hehe.

I absolutely loved the end of Harry Potter. It made me cry tears of joy. I think I may be the only one who liked it. Harry Potter 7 is right now competing in my brain for favorite book spot. It is putting up a tough fight too. But first, the story needs a few more days to sink in.

LMAO… spoken like a true Harry Potter fan ^.^

I found the ending to cliché, and therefore not a very sound ending for a great series. But personally, I think I agree with Amber here. I don’t think I really want any other following book(s) after this one.

Haha, I want an obliviate cast on me, not because I want the series to continue but because the epilogue was so dumb and pointless and cheesy and cliché. It ruined an otherwise awesome ending, imo. :P

Sounds like a plan! Count me in!

The epilogue felt like a “fairytale ending” for me. Too bad really, I was hoping she’d end it in a unique way… but then again, not even the HP series is perfect.

Hehe, I’m planning to reread the book soon.

I hope you enjoyed reading the last Harry Potter book. Very nice idea though, for all the HP fans out there ;) By the way, J.K. Rowling might (and hopefully for all those fans) start writing a new series? Who knows? :D

Accio JK Rowling! IMPERIO! I don’t want it to end either. ;(
