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. Part 1 is here

Anger is the second stage of grief. Harry Potter fans have been here for a while, cursing J.K. Rowling and her seed by asking “How Could You Do This To Me?” They end up blaming her for the loss of the series. Anger is necessary to overcome grief, according to the Kubler-Ross model. So you should embrace it, just not the same way these people did:

Perhaps you can follow what black kids pissed off at the Rodney King beating did: start krumping!

Something tells me that most Harry Potter fans can’t dance a lick, which is why krumping is the perfect way to learn how. Make sure you post on youtube. Who knows? Maybe you’ll be the next Star Wars Kid!

Suppressing anger isn’t going to help matters much. If you’re a Potter fan, you should be pissed if you still enjoy the series. Why should Rowling stop writing? The books haven’t turned into complete crap yet. As fans, you deserve to see your heroes used and abused to a degree that makes them hopelessly pointless. When that happens, you walk away on your own terms, not the terms dictated by someone who has a stranglehold on characters you know and love. If Rowling has run out of ideas, she should license the stories to people who are frothing at the mouth to bastardize Harry Potter.

Look at Star Trek. They had the Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, gay fan fiction, cartoons, movies, Enterprise, and now Battlestar Galactica, which is better than…what was that? Battlestar Galactica is not part of the Star Trek universe? My bad. Let’s just go to the Inspirational Video For Potter Fans At This Stage. In order to work your way through Anger, you have to FEEL rage. I’m not going to insult the Harry Potter franchise or it’s fans. What’s the point of that anyway if we still are to be friends? Instead, I present to you a man who inspires Anger in us all:

That’s right, Fed Ex. Who were you expecting? George Bush? Republicans like Harry Potter too, you know.

If that didn’t make you mad enough, someone put spoilers up online. Still not angry? damn…
Sure you’re not taking Harry Potter ecstasy?
