30th June, 1997: The first ever edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was released.
I still remembered that day at the bookstore, i laid my eyes on the book , and skeptically thought: “how can this book about a wizard boy sitting on the best seller rack?”. My curiosity got me and I ended up taking one home with me. In the end, it turned out to be one of my best reads of all time.
But even more, I still remembered that day when I finally had in my hand the newly-released final book of the series, inhaling deeply the sweet scent of the hard cover pages. Bittersweet feeling was in my heart: so glad that I would be able to know what happened to the Boy with Scarred Forehead, but also so sad that beyond it, it would be no more.
Potter more, Jo?
