Harry Potter Mambo Number 7
It's finally here, Harry Potter fans! The 7th book in the long awaited saga of Harry vs. Voldemort! I'm sure you're hanging on to every word, waiting to see the outcome of the fated battle between Harry and his erstwhile nemesis, Voldemort!
...I'll save you the trouble. Harry dies. It was really anti-climatic. His last word was "orz." He died from tripping over a banana peel on the stairwell running away from one of Hermione's many lectures that he should have practiced more on his Occlumency lessons as Dumbledore suggested!
OK, OK, you can stop shrieking and crying and yelling at your computer screen. Harry didn't die.. or did he? Hmm. I'm only on chapter eighteen thus far, but I can tell you this - Mr. Potter has his work cut out for him. What happens to him, I won't divulge, that is something you, dear readers, must discover for yourselves, and if you have yet to read any of the Potter series, shame on you! With apologies to my dear friend Ken (who loathes J.K. Rowling), I honestly think this series is quite possibly the BEST literature of our generation.
I'll tell you why, right now. Rowling quite possibly has done the impossible, especially in today's technological age. We're so overwhelmed with technology, the world wide web, computerized gadgets and widgets, that we forget our literature. Who CARES about books? We got video games. Who cares about the historical value of great writers of old, like Emily Bronte or Poe? We got our cable, and satellite TV, replete with 400 channels of mundane sports (GO LONGHORNS!) , soap operas and dramas, and reports of famous people and their brushes with the law. Who cares, INDEED?
J. K. got the younger generation interested in books again. Anything that gets a child, or a young teenager, interested in the written word is fine by me. J.K. brought together a community, a following, and has produced a healthy respect from this blogger that she is, indeed, probably the greatest writer of this era. Say what you will, but once time has laid down judgment as to where Rowling stands in the crowd of many famous writers, I have no doubt she'll be mentioned in the same breath as Bronte, Shelley, Dickenson, Woolfe, and Austen. She is that good.
Please, if you have yet to read any of the books, go to your local library or bookstore, and pick up the first book in the series. I promise you won't be disappointed.
