farewell harry by WyldClaw

Summary: I wrote this back on July 19, 2007 when I realized what was going to be released two days later. I own nothing mentioned in this poem. I wanted to get some of my feelings out I'm sad just typing about it so I'm gonna go find somewhere to cry. Please read and review!

July 21 this year will see the date for Harry Potter book number seven.

After it comes out, the series will then be going up to book series heaven.

It has been about ten years since the series in bookstores first appeared

They have generated beyond amazing successes in countries both far and near.

The books pull you into a world full of magic, adventure and mystery

They cause you to forget your woes and escape the dullness of reality

"Sorcerer's Stone" hooked me by surprise

I jumped out of my skin when Quirell unwrapped his turban to revel Voldemort's nose mouth and eyes.

When I read "Chamber", I laughed when Fred and George and Ron got chewed out about stealing the car from Mrs. Weasley

My jaw dropped when it was revealed that the person writing the messages on the wall and releasing the basalisk was a possessed Ginny

In "Azkaban" when I first read the descriptions of the dementors, a cry of fear did I let out.

I breathed a great sigh of relief when Sirius and buckbeak managed to escape before the dementors could take his soul out.

In "Goblet" I bit my lip when I read about Wormtail killing Cedric in the graveyard and when he brought Voldemort back to life I trembled so much I pulled out my hair.

I was horrorstruck when Barty Crouch Jr admitted all he had done to insure that Harry would touch the Triwizard cup , which had been turned into a portkey and was taken there.

As I read the end of "Pheonix" I was shocked when Bellatrix murdered Sirius during the battle in the department of mysteries

I could also feel his anger at Dumbledoor for not telling him about the prophecy and why Voldemort tried to murder him when he was a baby

In "Half Blood Prince" I shuddered whenever Dumbledoor and Harry went into the pensieve to learn about Voldemort's past.

I squealed with delight when Harry and Ginny got together at last.

Just when I thought I couldn't be shocked or surprised anymore

I howled in shock and dropped the book to the floor when Snape used the Killing Curse on Dumbledore.

This amazing series has been an awesome blast.

But alas, good things cannot last.

I only hope that Rowling answers some of the burning questions and theories we discuss with our family and friends.

Because I for will be bawling my eyes out when I reach the last two words in the " final book:

The End

Tis time to say "Fare thee well harry"

The literary world shall never be the same without ye.
