Make a note. At 1:36 A.M. EST July 23, I finished the final Harry Potter book.
It was FANTASTIC! I just so thoroughly enjoyed it. I was so proud of myself for calling so many things... although I was wrong about many things as well.
I do have some grumblings about one part and how it came across. I will have to reread it and see if it is better the second time.
I tried posting a blog a few days ago, but my internet wasn't working. I was going to make some more predictions, but I guess I shouldn't do that now (I might give something away). About Wednesday of last week I decided to start reading the 6th book again. I finished it on Saturday afternoon, after I had got the 7th book and after work. I only had 100 some pages left and I really wanted to refresh my mind since I hadn't read it straight through since it first came out. Sure, you remember the big stuff, but man, I was glad I went back to reread it.
So, I started reading the 7th Saturday evening, interrupted myself by making a quick run to the grocery store, then read until I fell asleep around 11 that night. This does not happen to me. I do not fall asleep reading books. I think it could be explained by my complete exhaustion (which is causing bouts of memory loss). So, I didn't get too far. One of my favorite things (ever since I could read) is to read late into the night in bed. Unfortunately I fell asleep early (earlier than planned). So, I read more today. Only got a little in before church, then read straight through the rest of the day. I got out of church at 4 this afternoon, so it's not like I have been reading since noon...
Tess is feeling neglected. She doesn't like Harry Potter too much I am afraid. She kept walking on top of my book. I kept it well out of her reach while I was out of the house... who knows what she might have done to it.
The thing I really noticed about this book was that everything was for real. No more practice. Harry Potter was a grown-up. You'll see what I mean as you read it. If you don't get it I will post my detailed opinions on here in a matter of a few weeks.
