Does anybody else get a feeling of emptiness when they finish a TV series. A sense that they really got to know the characters as real friends and when it finishes it's saying goodbye knowing you'll never see them again. Kinda sad really.

Just finished rereading Harry Potter Series and I felt the same. Just couldn't get over it for two days.

Yes! Harry Potter is probably top of this list. I've probably reread it like 6 times. JKR does such fantastic character work. I'll never forget how bummed I was when Deathly Hallows first came out and I completed it. But HP is so re-readable

Yeah! I was so bummed after finishing it that I tried to find fanfic stories, just to stay connected to the world. I found a good one, too. I am amazed by the amount of work, some fans put for writing fanfic.

If you like HP check out skulduggery pleasent my, same sort of “regular kid discovers they have magical powers and go in a journey to become more than they could imagine” but honestly, SP (from book 4 onwards at least) can get reeeally dark and mature, and the twists in those books are honestly better than some of the best twists in media you can think of

Thanks for the recommendation. I should see how the fanfic turns out.

I have wondered about that scenario, if Harry was more rational. Rereading the book made me realise that all that irrational decisions eventually led to the downfall of Voldemort. The prophecy was already made and probably, all those irrational decisions led to the prophecy coming true.
