Harry potter.
7 incredulous books , 8 incomparable movies and yet it remains pretty much with the same hype as always!
I was cleaning out my cupboard and found a lot of old things , my journal , slam books , diaries wasted wit jan entry alone filled , my certi file , my hp file , my hp scrap book and hp picture album! yes yes , u read it right oly , "hp" !
what are they?
hp file : contains all articles on hp , pictures from magazine and interviews of the cast
hp scrap book : best handpicked pictures with generation of harry , hermione , ron from the first movie to the fifth
hp picture album : is d end result of browsing through scholastic book pamphlets and getting fresh copies of hp picture book of the recent movie released!
And why were all these saved up in d closet?
wel yea innocent childhood memories but we still had a job pending , to partition it equally ( sis and me ) , as promised earlier, so when we finally part ways, we get a share of it!
holy madness right?
my best friend raji and i used to go for the same music classes when we were young , and every week , she used 2 bring her "collection" home and we traded pictures!
yes , i still remember being crazy about the pumpkin picture she got from some fancy magazine her dad got from his airways.. remember 3rd movie? they'd be hiding behind pumpkins near hagrid's place with buckbeak in the background!? that one!! she never gave that one in , we settled for a another trio picture and set the deal off !
ha , worst of my collection are those xerox copies of the front and bk cover of the 1st book to fill in scrap book!
If those weren't just enough to prove my insanity , there were my dreams which gave a better picture of that . An Indian version of dumbledore haunted me with letter of acceptance to hogwarts! ( for the 3rd year because my eligibility for 1st year had long gone :P ) and as soon as am up , i sneaked my way down, towards my postbox to check out if that had actually happened! Well , yea , a girl can dream but not this crazy!
The actual point being , i did wake up to reality one fine morning..
but yet hp never seemed to drift away , I made sure i catch the movies and the book , on d very first day gleaming ridiculously with proud and ecstasy!
It makes me wonder if i chose my friends based on a silly fact that they all loved hp , seemingly true each one of us are a die-hard fan! Every single thing we did , had , wad i call , a "hp twist" to it ,
guess who with characters from hp ,word building with hp characters, name place animal thing with hp , quiz , picture puzzles , pencil box - two way , one side harry , other malfoy , note books , pad , eraser , pen! Gosh!
it was as if everything around us was actually bewitched !!
i mean , if i have to be absolutely honest, we were crazy enough to call ourselves "muggles".
Well , knowing that it had so much effect on me , it makes me wonder if people in london , every time they go to kingscross station , try banging their way through the wall between platform 9 and 10! for one thing , i know , i would absolutely try that even if i were 60 or 70 if i get to go there!
I really don't remember much about the things that happened in the books . there are around a million groups in facebook about hp , and each one of them are die-hards crazier than you or me , and the stuffs they know , its like they mugged it all up without missing a phrase!!!
yes , i am not one of them , i accept i don't know much . . that doesn't make my love towards it any less! given a chance , i'd still read every book a 1000 times and every movie a 1000 more times coz everytime i read it again , it gives me the same fresh feel as it did the first time..
and i know it because , i still hate snape everytime i read the first book , continue to hate him till 4 , feel a little sorry for him but still hating him in 5th , but again filled dreadful anger when he kills Dumbledore in 6th , and evidently fall in love all over him again in 7th!
wanted to end it with something i had written long back, so here it goes,
dear JKR ,
any number of time i read your books, its the same feel i get and i love u for magic you created , not just in your books but in our hearts to see every character as real making us laugh and cry along with them..
fred and george were my favourite , i somehow still find it difficult to forgive you for fred and george's ear! but i am deeply indebted to you , for ever for giving my childhood the experience of a lifetime!!
always yours
