I remember how my body tensed up in anticipation when I heard the release date of the 7th Harry Potter book. The day it came out, I dragged my mother to Barnes and Noble, ignored the social anxiety I'd had up until that point, and squawked excitedly at one of the employees, asking them, 'Do you have any Harry Potter books left?'. I was so certain they would be sold out, and I was terrified I would have to wait a few days. I could barely breathe for the one second it took for him to reply with a smile, 'Yes'. He pointed at the pile of 7 or so books that remained, and I screeched gleefully, grabbing one immediately.
I can still recall the familiar smell of the pages, and the way they felt as I turned them over in my fingers. Oh, how I loved books. I read that book in less than 24 hours. I quenched my thirst for Harry Potter knowledge, and J.K Rowling did not disappoint. The book is an absolute masterpiece, all 607 pages of it. I think that I've ranted quite enough for today… Scroll down for the hilarious, heartwarming Harry Potter memes.
