Fenny’s Fun Pensieve

I bought Harry Potter (HP) and The Deathly Hallows on the first day of its launch only to read it half-amused, half-annoyed knowing that this is the end of HP adventures. It’s been 10 years since the first book of HP series was published. I instantly fell in love with HP and all characters depicted in the book by the ingenious writer, JK Rowling. I love the way she described the characters, settings, and especially the way the story goes. I mean, how many living writers today have the ability to imagine the ending of his/her story from the first time he/she writes? JRR Tolkien is so dead (I know what you’re suggesting). Considering the complexity and richness in this series, it’s truly a noteworthy achievement of human minds.

I once thought that JK Rowling did not write any of this on her own. I believed that she only described what she saw. It is very likely that Rowling stepped into some Pensieves (Potter’s and Dumbledore’s) and got out with crystal clear pictures of the story. Otherwise, how could you explain the vivid and picturesque details in every single page? If one Muggle had the knack of envisaging such a grandeur story in his/her mind, I would certainly question his/her sanity… *I love dramatizing things..hehehe*

However, I finally come to my senses when I reach the ending of HP 7. The-meant-to-be climax was feeble and the resolution was rather Hollywood kind of taste. Harry and Ginny had 3 wonderful kids and they happily watched their sons going to Hogwarts. D’oooh what a Hollywood version of ‘they live happily ever after’!!!

I have no doubt that Rowling had to make a conclusion to Warner Bros liking (consent, to be precise). I can picture the movie in my head; that the finale will be filmed to please public as much as hit the box office. And everybody will be happy, but the true HP fans.
