But then life moved on and I have now stepped into another world of book on pre-independance era.shobhana shenoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15976214548565169192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1330172498764514199.post-43781800094507001752011-08-11T10:57:55.718+05:302011-08-11T10:57:55.718+05:30An addendum:

I am an ardent fan of HP books and movies. I have read and still read all the 7 books one by one over and over again. (My son makes fun of me - he's a grown up you see)! It makes me forget all daily worries and transports me into a different world and become child-like. Truly there's magic in the writing style of Rowling.<br /><br />The last movie was very impressive but I didn't like the picturization in the end in that no one acknowledges Harry's triumph over Voldemort. It's beautifully written in the book how Harry kills Voldy in full view of everybody, how everybody flocks him, how Loony helps the trio to escape to Dumbledore's room and how the nobility of Harry is portrayed in his returning the Elder wand to Dumbledore after repairing his own broken wand and not just throw it out into water as shown.<br /><br />I had felt the sense of 'loss' and'wanting more' with the end of the 7th book itself.Dr. Suhasinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05978202710211163171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1330172498764514199.post-42837793690079157412011-08-11T09:08:39.670+05:302011-08-11T09:08:39.670+05:30I did feel a sense of loss after watching the HP m...I did feel a sense of loss after watching the HP movie. Its a tribute to the author that she's created a world wide cult following and that the movies also re-created the magic of the books. As Harry grew up so did my kids and I did feel the empty nest syndrome after the last scene (well maybe for a few seconds-:)chitra srikrishnahttp://www.chitrasrikrishna.comnoreply@blogger.com
