Refried Screens

This post is intended to assist those coping with the end of the Harry Potter series. Other posts in this series will follow daily, until we reach ACCEPTANCE, the final stage of grief. You can find the intro to the series HERE.

Denial is the initial stage of grief. Harry Potter fans will tell themselves “This Can’t Be Happening”. The world they’ve loved for years is crumbling, and they can’t believe it. Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, feels their pain, but is doing the wrong thing to help them cope:

“I can’t say I will never write another book about that world, just because I think: ‘What do I know, in 10 years’ time I might want to return to it’. But I think it is unlikely.”

I know Rowling is trying to prevent some nutjob Potter fan from pulling a John Lennon on her, and who can blame her? Have you seen some of these folks? But Rowling should just bite the bullet (figuratively speaking), be honest and tell them the franchise is dead…from an undisclosed location, of course. If it worked for The Sopranos creator David Chase who fled the country before the crappy Sopranos finale aired, it can work for J.K. Rowling.

Since Denial is the first stage, you need to face facts. The series is OVER. To help you come to terms with this, I have provided the first Inspirational Video For Potter Fans At This Stage: Hogwarts Is Done. So Sayeth Alice Cooper:

Don’t feel better? Good. It means you’ll be ready for tomorrow’s step: Anger.
