Harry Potter and the Cycle of Anticipation

Sometimes I just stop and think about how happy I am that I got to grow up with Harry Potter.

There's just something about an entire generation of people spending 10 years wanting nothing more than the next book that makes it more awesome. I loved those agonizing waits between books, the inevitable countdowns to release dates, the sleepless nights leading up to the midnight book launch and then the marathon reading sessions that followed. The Harry Potter cycle of anticipation was second to none and parallel only to Star Wars. Years containing both a new Harry Potter book and a new Star Wars movie felt like the universe was giving me everything I could ever ask for.
