Harry Potter Book And The Deathly Hallows (J.K. Rowling)

Namatay si Snape. Namatay si Fred. Namatay si Dobby. Namatay si Lupin at si Tonks. Nag-kiss sina Hermione at Ron. Nagkaanak sina Harry at Ginny. Si Harry, naging ninong ng naulilang anak nina Lupin at Tonks. Etcetera...etcetera...

PERO hindi ko pa nabasa yung libro.

Kagabi, binuksan ko yung isang malaking kahong package galing sa kapatid ko. Yung package na dumating nung Linggo. Dumating nung oras na nasa SLEX na ang bus na sinasakyan ko pabalik sa QC. Nasa loob ng kahon ang isang supot ng National Bokstore. Pagbukas ko ng plastic, naka-giftwrap ang libro sa loob.

So, hindi ko binuksan.

Anyway, I was already spoiled.

Actually, even before Friday (the 21st) came, I already told (kidded?) a close-friend-classmate to txt me ASAP the people who are going to die. Then, Monday came and news spread out fast. Whispers, giggles, and sighs all over the place whenever I'm around. I can't help it. I wanna know already. I didn't care about being spoiled. It will not gonna change my reaction when I decide to read the book. I'm not after the details, anyway. I read emotions and sometimes, I read characters. I don't usually read the plot, because it's like reading textbooks. You know what I mean.

I went on a quick stop to Stefan's for an update, and here's what he said about the witchboy:

I've never been part of the Harry Potter craze, and I never will be. My friends, I beg of you; let's not make a fuss over this anymore.

OUCH, Stefan.

Surely there are at least five other people out there (probably less) who feel the same way.

Another OUCH. But in your favor, perhaps I can give you my own list:

1. My sister here (the second youngest)

2. My mother

3. Andokxs

4. My brother

5. My niece, Alleiah

I'm 99% confident of the list.

Way to go, Stefan. I hope you'd be relieved to know that you're not really the only one who doesn't give shit on this mania.

But let me tell you a secret. Well, it's not really a secret anymore. I've already mentioned it here before. I actually didn't look forward to reading the last book because

it's. getting. freaking. popular. since. the. books. were. made. into. films. I. started. doubting. my interest. and. yes. when. the. the. sixth. book. came. out. and. people. were. already. anticipating. for. the. last. book. it. started. getting. on. my. nerves. and. I. guess. subconsciously. it's. possible. I'm. cursing. under. my. breath. and. imagining. all. these. people. will. also. gonna. kill. themselves. when. harry. and. the. rest. of. the. characters. die. ha. ha. ha. ha. ha. ha. hah.

The latest book I got is, what else, but another YA fic.

Red

It's The Year of the Dog (Grace Lin), which I'd randomly picked out at NBS last Tuesday, I think.
