Well, I can't remember my name anymore, but whoever I am, I know what happens at the end of Harry Potter! No spoilers here. Just wanted to let you know that the rules about "Lost" viewing habits previously discussed on this blog also apply to Harry Potter. In other words, if you spend 12 straight hours reading the final Harry Potter book and then go to bed immediately, you are bound to have some strange dreams. Apparently, my subconscious is concerned that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named might be planning to steal Kate from the hospital when she's born. So maybe you want to have a kind of detox period after your finish the last chapter so that your brain can readjust to, you know, reality.
Also, try to blink while you're doing your binge-reading or your contacts are going to dry out something fierce. This is the kind of advice you can only get from a true nerd. Write it down.
I have lots of thoughts about the book, but I will keep them to myself until I can see straight again. For now, here's what I think: It was good. The end.

I can't wait to hear your comments on the book. No one else in my life has finished it yet, so you may be my only outlet for nerdy HP discussion! :-)

Thanks for the restraint, Haley. I managed to get through the first 7 chapters yesterday. I read 5 of them with my new baby boy on one half of a boppy pillow and the book on the left. I read the last book this way too when his older sister was born. It takes me a week to get through the book, and I peruse the web with fear of encountering spoilers until then. It worked out last time well enough, and you're giving me hope that the end of this book will be a surprise as well!

What a way to reenter the land of Haley's blog. This is why I need to come here more often. I'm on the waiting list to read my next door neighbor's copy. Now that all 7 are out, I'm going to buy them all as a set.
