Well, the big day is finally here. The day we have been anticipating for over five years. The final installment of the Harry Potter series is in my mortal clutches. We sat and admired it when it came this morning. Ski and I have spent hours and hours talking about theories and conspiracies and have lived in Harry Potter's universe for a very long time. I have read the series no fewer than a half dozen times all the way through, the most recent attempt being thwarted by the early arrival of my daughter as I was about half way through book six when she arrived and have read no more than 10 pages since. I hope to get through The Deathly Hallows before someone ruins it for me. Until then, I'm cutting myself off from reality...no TV, no internet, and I'm going to be very selective about whose phone calls I answer. Extreme I know, but when you're THIS excited to finally find out how one of my favorite stories of all time is going in the end, you can't risk some idiot at Yahoo! news posting a headline spoiler about whether Harry Potter died or not. For the record, I don't think Harry will die. We shall see soon enough though. I can't believe this day is really here.
I thought I was excited. But I am done reading, in less than 36 hours I finished it. I have a child that is in bed at 7:30 and sleeps for 12 hours and doesn't require my boob! So Accio Deathly Hallows, muffliato the room so you can have peace and quiet and slip under the Invisibility Cloak. Happy reading...The Undesirable Number One's biggest fan

Ok, so I made it to chapter 4 last night. OMG. You were right, the action is fast in this book. I'm hoping to get another couple of chapters in tonight. Has Renee cooperated with you and let you get so more reading in? I sure hope so. I have to have someone to talk to about it.
