How many in today’s generation are not familiar with the name Harry Potter. Not too many is my answer.
Ever since the first book “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” was published in September 1998, children and parents alike have been following the life of the boy wizard, whose life changed, when the Master of the Dark Forces, Lord Voldermort killed his parents and left him with the lightning mark.
Harry’s encounters with the Dark Lord, his life at Hogwarts, his best friends Ron and Hermione have become the most talked about topic. Its been two years since the last book “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” was released in July 2005. Readers have been awaiting the final part ever since. There was a short break in the frenzy during this period.
But now with the announcement of the date of the release of the new book “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”, the hysteria has reached its peak. There is a mad rush to place orders for the book. Parties and events are planned all over the world. UK Postal Service “Royal Mail” is launching stamps with the covers of Harry Potter books, to mark the release of the latest book. This goes to show that the Potter mania is not just confined to kids and their parents.
July 21, the D-Day for hardcore Potter readers is looming near.
Like other Harry Potter fans, I am eagerly awaiting the release of the final book. Can’t wait to lay my hands on it to find out what future holds for Harry….. The mania continues……….
