Hooray for Harry!

Potter that is... Ric and I have been on the couch all day with the newest (and last!) Harry Potter book. We reserved our copies (yes, that is copies purlal...didn't want to fight over who got it first) about a month ago and have been eagerly anticipating this day. And it finally arrived! It's 600 pages, called Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and so far (I'm about 1/3 of the way through), it's amazing! The action starts right on page one and just keeps going. I'm trying to pace myself so I don't finish it too quickly... have to drag it out becuase there (supposedly) won't be any more after this one. Anyone else out there as excited about this as we are?

I did read that they've set up special helplines for kids in the UK to help them deal with "emotional issues" that the book may cause. If that doesn't build up suspense about the ending I don't know what does!

Happy reading!

Hey Sweetie,
I hadn't been to your blog in awhile and there's loads of good info and pictures here. The Tour de France and day in London looked awesome. I got Harry Potter this weekend at Sam's Club. I've got another book to finish before I can start, so I don't think I'm near as excited as you guys. We all were at the beach with Ric and Lora when the last one came out and I remember you guys having two copies then. Love you, mom

LOVED the latest Harry Potter. I started reading it on Thursday evening and finished by Sunday night. Couldn't put it down! In fact, poor Paul watched me read for hours and hours and couldn't get me to focus my attention on anything else.

Without disclosing anything that happened - I thought that it was very uplifting, despite a few sad scenes, and was very, very satisfied with the ending.

Rach - how about you name your firstborn "Albus"...

I like that name... and I'm sure the kids at school wouldn't pick on him :)

Loved the ending too, but SO sad it's over!!
