They grew up with Harry Potter. Now they are saying good-bye -- sort of.
With the release of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," which opens at most theaters Friday, J.K. Rowling's global phenomenon officially comes to an end. No more visions of Harry, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley battling evil. No more quidditch matches, no more spells to cast, no more oblivious Muggles.
For many fans of the series, the last book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," was the end of Potterdom as they knew it.
"I kind of felt it ended when the last book came out," says Kate Weiss-Duncan, 25, of Sewickley. "It was the final ending to the story, The movies are just a ghost of the books."
Weiss-Duncan was 12 when she first started reading Rowling's series. Since then, she's graduated from high school and college, and started working at the Penguin Bookshop in Sewickley, where she's an assistant manager. Pottermania came just at the right time for her.
"I would get the books the day they came out, and I usually had the book read by the next day," Weiss-Duncan says. "I would just read for eight or nine hours in row. Unfortunately, I don't have the leisure time to do that any more."
Rachel Rothenberg of Squirrel Hill became aware of Rowling's creation during a segment on "Good Morning America" about "these great books that were imported from England and taking the country by storm," she says.
She summoned her mother and announced her intention to read the books -- by herself. She was 6 at the time. Shortly thereafter, Rothenberg, who won the teen championship on "Jeopardy!" in 2009, and will be a sophomore at the College of Wooster this fall, was devouring "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

Saying goodbye (at work) « HelpGov's helpful blog
Cuts today but there’ve been cuts on other occasions as older readers who lived through the Thatcher years will remember.
There’s a way to go and a way to let them go.
So here are some of the lessons I’ve learned. All are based on what I’ve have seen or experienced.
Employers and managers
Have the guts to speak to them personally. Don’t let them know by letter or even worse e-mail.
Don’t call them in and start your We’ve got to let you go speech with “This is going to be a difficult meeting for me.”
Don’t say “They’ve screwed enough out of this organisation. There’ll be no farewell gifts.”
Once you’ve been persuaded that it’s appropriate to mark their departure with a modest presentation don’t give them all the same inappropriate farewell gift of an alarm clock. (Both this and the previous point happened to colleagues of mine in a London Borough)
Do something – whatever it is – to make your reluctant leavers at least feel you’ve done what you had to as decently and ethically as possible.
Don’t ask them back to do voluntary work (as an English police force just has by asking redundant officers to sign up as special constables).
Reluctant leaver
It’s not you. It’s the system. And even if you feel you’ve been picked on who’s the better person for it – you or them?
Don’t lose your dignity and self-respect. You will get through it.
If you’re given more than one option think the pros and cons of each through carefully. The first you think of taking may not be the best.
If there’s any support going from your employer take it, whether it’s a brought-forward pre-retirement course, outplacement support or anything else.
Maybe most difficult of all, but get over it. After you’ve ranted and raved (in private) lock any remaining bile in a small box in your brain and bring it out sparingly until it disappears for ever.
