HARRY POTTER - ROWLING BIDS GOODBYE TO HARRY POTTER

"I always knew that Harry's story would end with the seventh book, but saying goodbye has been just as hard as I always knew it would be," J.K. Rowling has written on her website, referring to her completion of the final Harry Potter novel, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. She continued: "Even while I'm mourning, though, I feel an incredible sense of achievement. I can hardly believe that I've finally written the ending I've been planning for so many years. I've never felt such a mixture of extreme emotions in my life, never dreamed I could feel simultaneously heartbroken and euphoric." She suggested that whenever she feels like "collapsing in a puddle of misery" over putting Harry behind her, she thinks to herself: "While each of the previous Potter books has strong claims on my affections, Deathly Hallows is my favorite, and that is the most wonderful way to finish the series."
