Will probably never happen again. I agree. The book delivered. Like another of your commenters, I would read and re-read pages just to enjoy the scene. Yesterday I saw that she was expecting to write a guide to the books with more back stories and epiloges. That would be nice. Hope you and pup are both feeling better.

Wasn't he magnificent? :-) I have mixed feelings about the book. A second read should help me sort them out properly... much of it was excellent, but I definitely was disappointed by the epilogue (I wanted to know so much more--didn't you?) Oh, Neville.

I'm starting HP1 as soon as I finish the book I'm reading now. I haven't been reading much as I 've been distracted by Monkey socks and now the new sock I started this morning.

But I don't read quite that fast. Some parts I just sped on through and others I read each word slowly. Letting them sink in. It was awesome! I am sure to read it again shortly, probably no later than tomorrow. But slower. Maybe even taking breaks to do something else. It was definitely like Christmas to me. I had mine delivered, and didn't get it till Saturday afternoon. I ripped open that box like it was wrapping paper. And though there won't be more of these, at least we have this series to enjoy from now on. :) I finished mine too. But I don’t read quite that fast.

I agree, there's nothing better than curling up with a good book! A question. I don't remember if you see the Harry Potter movies or not. If so, how do they compare to the books? I tend not to see the movie of books I've enjoyed, but, for me, the HP movies are in a different category and I've liked them as much as the books.

Sad at parts, happy at others. I'm really glad I encountered no spoilers, and it was fun to be part of the collective experience. The question is - will J.K. Rowling write another book, and if she does, will it be any good? I’m not disappointed at all. Sad at parts, happy at others.

Emily and David have both finished it, now I get to take my time with it :) We were going to go to Borders, but ended up at the local Target store, and there were only 5 others in line.
