It would not be inappropriate to say that a decade ago, magic did not mean much more than 'aabra ka daabra' to most of us until we were introduced to a rage called 'Pottermania' and the rest they say is history.
Flying broomsticks, magical potions, quidditch, or the Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, it was all a first for us. It was an epic fantasy that captivated this generation. Harry, Ron, and Hermoine instantly became household names and after a decade of magic it would be fair to say that we grew with these characters, the so-called 'Harry Potter Generation'.
The book vs movie debate does not seem to cease but the common string is the attachment people have with them and the kind of hysteria it conjured on every release. What followed was a record-shattering box office collection and a mad rush at the book stores.
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2" is the eighth installment and first in 3D of a franchise that has generated more public excitement and media hype than any other in living memory. This would be a second chance for many to bid goodbye to the Potter boy after the final book was released back in 2007. Buildings are flattened, wizards and witches die and Harry steels himself for the final showdown with his evil nemesis Lord Voldemort. I am sure a lot of hearts will be broken and a lot of tears would be shed as the final credits start to roll and it's completely understandable considering the kind of uncanny emotional bonding people have with it.
Potter will surely be missed but I say 'The boy who lived' is called so for a reason, for he will live in our hearts forever.
