“I never thought it’d happen. We’d a good run for many years. I think my feelings have changed or maybe they’ve been re-arranged. You may call it the seven-year itch. But it’s goodbye,” she kept the HP books on the shelf and wondered when she’d find a new series to fall in love with again.
Linking this to Bar-A-Thon

Haha… It actually happens. These series are such lovely things.
True that!
I suppose we all get fed up of things every now and then….I’ve never read HP actually . Funnily enough fantasy doesn’t really appeal to me .
Agree, we need new and different things to explore every now and then. I can understand that, there are many genres which are not my cup of tea!
Get bored of HP! No no!!! They are like that 2 year old pickle that has the familiarity, and the tang and the heat still.
LOL 😀 This is fiction… I still love HP and its magical world!
for me HP is always on tv as never tried to dive into the books …

I know at one point of time HP movies were on all kiddie channels as well as English movie channels. They still are aired frequently and I have watched them many times with my son too!
This happened to me couple of years ago and I started investing my time in a detective series instead. But HP is love.
Interesting. I love detective and mysteries and are my all time favorites!
Very true! An emotion well described in short.
A lot of factors re arrange our feelings, but sometimes we fall in love again with the same thing in a different way!
I love the perspective you have shared, Sheela. We grow and re-invent ourselves and re-look at things differently!
I guess we all go through these phases like product life cycle.-Infancy, growth,maturity and then decline. But HP is one series that I can go to every now and then.
True that. And that’s a wonderful analogy! Thanks Bhagyashree.
Oh Shilpa you touched a chord with many book lovers. There is a very slim chance of finding another series as fascinating as HP.
Agree with that completely, there’s nothing as fascinating as HP. Thanks Akshata!
Nice post. I have that problem with authors every 7 months.

Aah! I understand that!
HP certainly had it’s day but the books lie on my shelf unread for a long time but stll loved. Nice one.
Hehe.. Smart. Also true. I haven’t actually found a series like that since.
I never could start the series, so I wouldn’t know! Good luck with finding a new one, Shilpa.
harry potter also my favorite
Actually i have forgotten many of the characters and their names. My nieces beat me to it and have disqualified me from being a ‘potterite’. Need to revise again and attempt to get back into that hallowed league of ‘potterites’.
Good take on the prompt.
Ah! Smart ending.
Harry Potter fan 🙂
Sounds like the story of my exe when he dumped me a younger model.
However it was a blessing in disguise since 2007 when I was kicked to the curb because now I invest in me. Still Blessed.
You touched a chord there, Shilpa. Loved your take on the prompt! Congratulations on completing the challenge.
Hahah – I am still enamored 😀
Nice twist
Cant relate to this one at all – I dont think I will ever go off HP 😉
Awww. Beautiful.
Even charisma and magical pull of HP cant get over the seven year itch! Liked this light take on the prompt, Shilpa
I loved the first movie… like anything. But, thankfully my kids love to “read” and have read all the series 🙂
Ha…Ha…Ha…Nice twist at the end of the story. I love it!
Sigh! From a HP fan to another, I still haven’t found another series like this one
I’m not a big one for fantasy so never got around to reading HP, just watching the flicks. But I can still relate to this seeet story, as I have seen enough fans.
Fabulous one, Shilpa.
Hahaha!! yeah people move on grow up and you leave HP behind and go to other authors but I guess some things live on and some love never fades.
That’s exactly how I felt… Oh how I want to fall in love with a book like that.
I am yet to complete the series. TV/movies all done. But books- i have 5 more to read… Let’s see when that’s going to happen.
Oh yes. We all need a change even where reading is concerned!
Wow Shilpa. I have missed reading you. And I laughed at this because before a couple of days when I watched HP 7 – part 1, I was explaining to my 7 year old nephew why he must watch this. For a moment, I had that longing you mentioned.
Thanks for always sharing your insights, being selfless, and spreading kindness. I personally can’t thank you enough for all of the amazing content you share. You change lives! WE APPRECIATE YOU. Stay safe!
