I finished reading Harry Potter today! All 759 pages of it.... well worth the wait. The last book was all i expected, but much more- all kinds of surprises at the end! I recommend it to everyone. It has been very interesting to see the storyline develop over the past 10 years. Here are some pictures from the release party at midnight at Wal-mart, where we waited in line, a line that stretched past the garden center! The wristband you got determined the order in which you could purchase your copy, that went Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, then Slytherin.
There's my dad and I reading in the Mcdonald's at Walmart. It was a long night!
The following morning, my mom and I attended the release party at our local bookstore, Booksmart, where i had pre-ordered the book two months ago. This way, we ended up with two copies, one for my dad and one for me, but I just couldn't wait until they opened at 8 am on the day of, when I could get it at midnight the night before somewhere else!! The bookstore had all kinds of activities and drawings, and i even won a Harry Potter button for answering a trivia question about the Tri-Wizard Tournament. They had a mock Forbidden Forest, and a bar serving "butterbeer" (which was very delicious, by the way, and non-alcholic) and even characters dressed up. Here are some pictures:
Happy Wizarding!!

What did you think about the book, 'cacia? It was compelling, wasn't it? I think I have to read certain parts again, like that part at the end when he is in the train station... it kept me up until 3am yesterday, but I was pulled and pulled and pulled onward, the sign of a great book!
