I Solemnly Swear that I am Up to No Good

Today was the most hectic day EVER! All because of a guy called Harry Potter. My uncle bought tickets to watch t at 7.10pm tonight and I was stuck at the office till 7.00pm. Good thing that it was close to the cinema or else I wouldve emotionally DIED!

Anyway, as I was in a rush to watch the last installment of my all-time favourite book series - I ran to the taxi station in the pouring rain and waved frantically at the taxis that passed by. In sheer desperation, I ambushed into another person's taxi because thank God, he too was going to the curve. I was like "Going to the curve right?Yes? Ok!"and shoved myself into the backseat.

So then I speed-walked in my wedges as fast as my legs could possibly carry me. I must have looked like a hungry giant as I stride in large steps and was panting, cutting everyones path. Got to the cinema and 7.20pm and the movie had just started. Sorta bummed but I hopped onto my comfortable platinum lounge seat and savoured every moment.

And yes, it was SO worth it. There were a lot of emotional bits (tear-jerking moments) that made me realise that this is definitely the end of the road. Hats off to the director, crew and actors who put the movie together because it was simply stunning. They managed to tie up all the loose ends and not focus so much on the unnecessary love chemistry between Ginny and Harry which I was so hoping :) You must admit that nothing can do the books any justice - but this movie came very bloody close. So I applaud you for going out with a bang.

Now, it is my time to reflect on how much energy and emotions that I have poured into Harry Potter for the past decade or so. From casting spells on my cousins in the living rooms to waiting for the post to bring my Hogwarts letter when I was 11, and from reading the books over and over again till the wee hours of the morning to anxiously pestering my mom to buy the books from Amazon once it was out - Harry Potter, you have been such a large part in my life that it makes it impossible to say goodbye. Since the end of the movie till now, I still can't believe its over.

But all good things come to an end. And as it pains me to say it, (with a heaving and long sigh) I bid thee farewell. Thank you for the many years of putting a little bit of magic in people's lives and thank you for including me in the wizarding world although for such a brief time. Many can try, but nothing can ever take your place.

Till the day JK Rowling writes an additional book to the story (which is so very unlikely), I am proud to cast a last spell - putting my childhood journey to an end.

Till then.... Mischief Managed ;)
