At 12:01 am today the final book in the Harry Potter series went on sale. Xachar & Col-Cr were at the bookstore waiting to get our copy. Because we had thought ahead, we had a book on reserve & collected our pick up # early in the day, Friday, so the book was in our possession by 12:30am & the boys were home by 12:45am. Even as eager as I was to crack it open & begin reading, I waited until 8am & did not look up until a horrible headache struck at 2pm. By that time I was 3/4 done. A friend came over for dinner & we relaxed a bit. My headache was finally gone & I resumed reading around 9pm finishing the last typed word at 11:20pm.
As Col-Cr currently has his nose stuck in the book; Xachar is buggin me for details. He won't read the books but will watch the movies. I was shocked, a bit sad & pleased with the ending. I pray when they do shoot the final movie, they won't leave anything out.
If you are a Harry Potter fan, do not miss this book. I had purchased the paperback but refused to wait one single day to read the final installment in this special series. I've really enjoyed the special bond J.K. Rowling has helped to form between Col-Cr & myself. It's been a wonderful journey that we will both treasure & miss.
