Dying to see "Harry" -- and not

I've read the whole series at least three times through and I've watched the movies over and over again. I've been debating all weekend whether I should rush off and see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2. I'm so eager to see it -- and not.

It's sad to realize that when the final credits end, that's it. Barring a major reversal by J. K. Rowling, there will never be another book or another movie. I don't think I'm quite ready for it to end. I've been watching the previous movies and the TV features on the series. Right now, in fact, I'm watching the Larry King special on the movie.

So, I think I'll wait a few weeks. Allow the crowds to thin, duck into a sparsely attended showing (probably a matinee), and savor every moment by myself without distractions. For me, I think, that will be the proper ending to the Harry Potter events. After all, it's not as if I don't know how Harry's saga is resolved.
