I love Ms. Rowling for writing her Harry Potter series, but I hate it whenever she does something like this. Stop teasing us, dammit!
Well, I got the first day cover that commemorates the 35th anniversary of the establishment diplomatic relations between China and Malaysia that I mentioned a couple of posts ago. Except that it's not a first day cover, it's a commemorative cover, which is a slightly different beast. I guess I should read the news article properly next time! The difference between the two is that first day covers are specially-designed envelopes stuck on with specially-designed stamps, and marked with a specially-designed postmark. A commemorative cover is a specially-designed envelope... and that's it. All in all, it's an unremarkable affair, especially if you're used to well-designed first day covers (not that Malaysian first day covers are well-designed... but I digress). Oh sure, a commemorative cover has a stamp printed right on to it but that's just like an overglorified aerogramme. Lame. On the whole, what a disappointment. I haven't been collecting first day cover
What??? She must be joking. Pls tell me she's joking.
ReplyDeleteDo you know how bad I felt when Dumbledore died. It's almost like I can feel what Harry felt. The numbness and the weight of the world upon his shoulder...everything.
I dont think I cant handle Harry being dead. Totally unacceptable...no no nooooooooo!
I dont care. Even if she makes him die in Book Seven I'll come up with Book Eight...entitled...Harry Summoned From the Dead. Or something along the line.
Alternate endings! Haha... I hear there are fanfiction that rewrites the ending of the Half-Blood Prince where Dumbledore lives.
ReplyDeleteBut y'know, I've got a sneaking suspicion this is just a red herring... maybe, just maybe, it's Ron and Hermione who die. I think that will be more painful, for Harry to lose his closest friends.
Oh, that J.K. Rowling's such a tease.
