When DH came out I was on a break from heavy involvement in fandom, which I usually say is because I was really busy with other things — and that's not false, but I also don't think it was a coincidence that it happened when it did.
I hear that. I was on fandom overkill by the time DH rolled around. Definitely didn't have the energy for the wank anymore. Hell, people were STILL bitching about the epilogue when I came back 5 years later!
The pessimist in me wonders if it'll instead generate a new, separate fandom that is not rooted in the history of HP fandom here on LJ, and will just be a bunch of kids on Tumblr hyperventilating about how Eddie Redmayne's face is ruining their life.
LMAO!! I take it some of this has maybe already begun? XD I don't think that's pessimistic. I think it's realistic. I love LJ, but I can't imagine people flocking here in large numbers again, can you? I *am* looking forward to new characters and new fic, though.
