This morning on the way to work, I keep thinking, Now what?
Harry and I have journeyed together several times since we first met in 1999. But this most recent trip, of the past five weeks, has been the longest, the most intense, the most emotional. We were together every day. (How light my bag seems today.) Every morning, every evening, my body was traveling with my husband to and from work, while my imagination traveled with Harry.
Last night, our trip came to an end. A marvelous trip it was. Darker than I anticipated, but marvelous. And so now I wonder, Now what?
CAUTION: Spoilers in the comments. Do not read them unless you've finished Book 7, or don't care.

Tell me, who died? C'mon, I don't read the books anyway.

Posted by: natalie at July 23, 2007 12:38 PMI finished it on Saturday morning. You have a JK Rowling encyclopedia to look forward to with a better explanation of what happened to Harry and Company after deathly hallows. I loved it ... the only thing I didn't buy was the how he defeated Voldemorte. I just can't believe that b/c Harry disarmed Malfoy, that he becomes the master of the Elder Wand. Poor hedwig and colin creevey.
