One year since release of DH2

It seems like it was much longer than that. This may seem silly
to say, but I feel like a part of me has gone away, or at least
receded. Harry Potter weekend was on I think last weekend, and I
didn't watch it like I usually would. Over the past year I
haven't really been motivated to watch a movie or read one of
the books. Even though there is Pottermore (despite the kind of
fail that it is) I got a bit excited for the new chapters, but
it just felt different. I'm probably just getting older.
I cleaned out/reorganized my room yesterday and I put together a
Harry Potter shelf that has all my books/movies and other
things. It made me feel good to get it all in one place but it
sort of has a finality look to it. It's just weird that such a
big part of my life sort of came to a halt.
Guys, I think I have Post Potter Depression...what do I do?

After I saw the movie last year I remember feeling really weird
for about a week. Like sad and sort of depressed. I was 23 years
old. It was not okay to get that invested, but I knew thats what
it was. Then I saw it again like a week later and I was better,
but it was still bittersweet.
I'm now at the point where I've been for most of my life in the
lull between books/movies. Where if its on I'll still watch, and
I'll still discuss it with whoever wants to, but I'm not a
fanatic or anything. Like last week DH1 was on HBO and I watched
the whole thing. All the feelings came back, I ended up being
late for something because I just wanted to finish, and I
remembered why I loved that particular movie. My mom watched
some of it with me and I got sucked into talking about all the
little nerdy things us HP fans care about, which was a nice
taste of a year ago when I was a crazy obsessive. And it was a
reminder that its always there for me and always means
something.

It still feels weird, like it was never over but you know it is.
I'm currently re-reading the series (I'm on HBP) and I just love
how the books still make me smile and all. There hasn't been
another books series that make me feel like HP does.
