I have a feeling that&#8217;s not really over.  She&#8217;ll give us something else to adore at some point.  Maybe not another trip to Hogwarts, but something we&#8217;ll love.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also not over for me because I still have young nieces and nephews.  I was introduced to Harry by a nephew who has grown up with Harry.  I&#8217;m still buying copies for the younger children who are now the age he was then.  I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;ll ever grow up.  I&#8217;ll always be ready to start all over again with Harry as a first year, each time a new child says, &#8220;Will you read this, please?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Most of all, this is not really the end because Harry will continue to live inside my imagination.  If he&#8217;s taught us nothing else, he&#8217;s taught us that the most powerful magic of all is what we hold inside, in our hearts and in our imaginations.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>197 of 365. &#8220;Of course it is happening inside your<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[60],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1649","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-daily-happensnap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1649","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1649"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1649\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1649"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1649"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
