Harry Potter Countdown COMPLETE! GIF PARTY!

Smirk away, Bellatrix. The long-awaited and long-feared end of a series that consumed the lives of many came to its culmination yesterday with tons of midnight release-goers. (I'm not even kidding, a lot of theaters in metropolitan areas had showtimes starting at 3am to cater to the masses that were arriving!) And now... IT'S ALL OVER. Cue dramatic wailing and clutching of the books. Or we could just throw a party of our own: 

Cupcakes for everyone! Or maybe you cope somewhat differently...

No matter the way you decide to cope, there is no denying the impact this book and movie series has had not only on OUR generation, but the ones preceeding and the ones subsequent. So let's take a look at this journey from start to finish and see what our souls will miss out on until Pottermore premieres ;(

WAIT. HOLD UP. DON'T DO ANYTHING. VOLDEMORT COMMANDS WE HAVE A DANCE BREAK.

Sigh. What did you do in celebration of the end?
