the last of pottermania

i finished the book just before my train rolled into kings cross, so i was still thinking about it as the rafters of the train station appeared and floated past. i liked the last harry potter, although i confess i was a little sad the series ended. i started reading the books 7 years ago, after someone gave me a copy of the first one in the dorms of moscow university. when the 5th came out, i had friends of friends who happened to be flying through heathrow the day of the release bring me a copy in moscow. for the 6th i was actually in england, having come over to attend an interview for the programme i am now in. and for the last i was standing behind a till in central london, having my photograph taken by screaming mobs.
according to rumours floating around the staff room, JK rowlings is planning 2 more books for the near future: but they will not be about harry potter. that should be interesting, but not the same.
meanwhile i need to start working on the next chapter of my bloody thesis...
