It's July 20, and we're about 7.5 hours away from finding out if Harry Potter, or Hari Puttar, finishes off Voldermort in the final book of the series. Vinay and I are meeting up for dinner with KK and Aparna, our friends who are more into Harry than I am! We then plan to be at the bookstore at midnight to get our copies of the book!
The internet is abuzz with spoilers and guesses about what happens in the book. And I've been googling like crazy since this morning to read all of them! My favorites are
1. Snape is Albus Dumbledore's love child
2. Hermione moves over to the Dark Side
3. Harry gets drunk and breaks his pelvis
4. Loony Luna is actually Harry's mom in disguise
Ofcourse, I am hoping that all the main characters survive, but knowing J.K., she will spring a few deaths on us :-( .. As long as it is not Harry, Hermione, Hagrid or Ron, I will be very happy. And if Dumbledore comes back a la Gandalf (Lord of the Rings) I will certainly be very happy!
Although classified as a children's book, I find many re-occuring themes in the HP Series that would match up to any great literary classic. No wonder, the books can be read over and over again. I predict than 10-20 years down the road, my would-be kids will be reading these books in school :-)
