nineteen years later.

i’ve seen people talking about how it’s over, how everything in the series is in the past, how it’s done, at long last.

but it’s never quite over, is it?

because we’ll never forget the hopeful, specky, bold little eleven year old enduring trials far greater than anyone his age should go through, or the weathered, dutiful, and determined seventeen year old fighting battles far greater than anyone should ever go through. we’ll never forget ron, his wheezy, who remained loyal through it all; we’ll never forget hermione, the brightest witch of her age, who inspired everyone in the fight. we’ll never forget ginny, or neville, or luna, or draco, or mcgonagall, or dumbledore, or james, or lily. we will never forget those seven years, and then one more day nineteen years later.

harry potter will never be over. not while there are still people to remember it, and him. 

all is well. and hogwarts will always be there to welcome us home.
