I finished the last Harry Potter in less than 24 hours. I couldn't resist the urge to drive to Wal-Mart for a discount copy at 12:01. So there I was shopping with all of the other HP fans, and then drove home to stay up two more hours reading the book before being reminded by my husband that we were supposed to be getting up early on Saturday to drive to the in-laws (who I would really like to thank for -if not understanding - accepting that I had to finish that book before any spoiler got to me).
Loved it. Really wished there could have been more to the Dumbledore family story-line, but it is Harry's book.
My husband kids me, especially when I am talking with friends about the book, that Harry isn't a real person, and I know he isn't, but still, I swear I am going to miss him, and Hermoine, and Ron, and all the rest of those characters.
I did appreciate the epilogue, but wish we could have learned more about what they are all doing as adults. I distinctly remember Rowling saying she would never write about Harry working in an office or somewhere, and I can totally respect that, but I would LOVE to know what Ron and Hermoine ended up doing. At least we did learn that Neville got a job at Hogwart's - too cool.
So now, I am moving on to another series - The Thursday Next books. Very interesting group of books, especially if you love literature.
So, let me go try to read some of her exploits -
