Thank You Jo!!!

    13 years ago I was eight years old it was the first time I heard of Harry Potter, little did I know that it would have as much of an impact on my life as it did. I've grown up with these books and films that were all conjured from the mind of the genius named J.K. Rowling, who among many other things including, the second richest woman in the world, a visionary, an enthusiast of imagination, she was, is, and always will be my hero. If one day I can say I made an impact that was even a small percentage of Mrs. Rowling's Id be happy with my life.
   10 years and 8 films later and the highest grossing franchise of all time is over. After seeing the movie twice now all I can say is that it was "bloody brilliant." Everything that was needed to complete the tale of everybody's favorite boy wizard was accounted for, from the destruction of the horcruxes to the final battle between The Boy Who Lived and He Who Must Not Be Named. Not to mention the most memorable parts of the novel. From Molly's big line to the reveal of Snape's true allegiance, this movie was jam packed with action, suspense, emotion, and amazing effects. Anything you could hope for in a film and more is what was delivered in the ultimate finale Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2.
     Now maybe I'm biased, hell, I'm definitely biased, but this film was amazing from start to finish. I will never see a movie that I will be more emotionally attached to then this film. I've lived my last 2 years awaiting this final film from re-reading the entire series multiple times to checking Mugglenet.com on a daily basis, to listening to the podcasts, to obsessing day in and day out about these intricate story lines that Jo weaved so brilliantly, so finely throughout her epic tale. There will never be a series that I can connect with like the Potter series, I've tried the Percy Jackson books, I'm trying the Hunger Games, Game of Thrones, and The Sookie Stackhouse novels and nothing seems to stack up. Maybe I haven't tried hard enough or maybe I've just been through so much while following this series, either way I just want to thank Jo Rowling for the 13 years she gave me, for allowing these books to be made into films, and most importantly for making me realize that reading isn't stupid but that it's fun and that imagination lives in all of us no matter how old.
    If you haven't guessed by now I'm giving this film the first 10/10 that I have given. Biased or not my opinion of this film will never falter just like the troops who defended Hogwarts on May 2, 1998(the real time date of the Battle of Hogwarts). Now I leave you with Jo Rowling's words(paraphased) from the world premiere in London... As long as you have the books and movies to turn to Hogwarts will always be open to those who need it...
