And so the Harry Potter fever is dying…  

Jul 30th, 2007 | By | Category: Featured

After just such a short period of time, all things harry potter have died down which is such a relief for me. I seriously don’t understand why there was such a craze over the book. In fact, I don’t understand a lot of things surrounding the series – movie and book. Maybe it’s because i’ve neither read any of the books nor watched the movies but can someone explain to me why a fictional story could be so ‘moving’ that a counselling hotline would have to be set up?

One theory that was suggested to me was how the readership is primarily made up of kids(which somehow doesn’t strike me as entirely accurate) and that someone like Harry seems to strike a chord with that age group…and add that to the fact that kids are more emotional, it’s easy for something like that to convert peaceful fun-loving kids into little walking weapons of mass hysteria.

Anyway, this is pretty much a ranty post that I needed to write about before diving back into my coffee…I just had to get it off my chest.

Bleagh.
