Harry Potter 7

Sound Off When You’ve Finished
(Or call me names if you think Harry Potter is stupid)

My wife and I had been trading off reading and today I pretty much hogged the book and finished it off.

It’s a great book; probably the best of the series and had a great ending.  

My oldest daughter is seven and has read book 1.  She’s dying to read the rest; we’ll let her read #2 when she turns 8 in a few weeks.

On Friday we dressed up the kids and drove North to Hudson, Ohio where a Harry Potter book release festival was taking place throughout the entire downtown.




A typical crowd at the festival on one of many streets.

You have three darling kidos and I would not even think o dissing  you on something your family obviously enjoys.

Am I a Harry Potter fan? No, I find seriously boring, at least the movie I tried to watch, but my oldest grandson loved it. That was enough for me ;)

Finished it around 0530 Sunday morning.  I thought it was a great book, especially the way things worked out at the end.

It's a long story.  

I've always made it a point to educate myself about what my children were involved in.  

When my son was 6 or 7 my mom used to read Harry Potter books to him and I decided to give them a look.  After book 1 I was hooked because Rowling really has the ability to capture what my mentality was at that age.  I could see myself throughout all the books as he aged dealing with the things that Harry had to deal with.  

I bought the book on Saturday morning and finished it on Saturday night.  

IMHO it's the best book of the series.  I'm just sorry it had to end.

JK Rowling and thank you for many many many hours of entertainment.

I have it. I LOVED the other books, read them in the first few days, but I cannot bring myself to show the least bit of interest in this one. I dont know if its just because I now have a life, or because the writing style has obviously changed, but I read one chapter and have never really felt like picking it up again.

Pick it up again; you won't be able to put it down once you get to the big gay orgy scene.

I found it the most disappointing of the series, it didn't answer the questions it said it would except for a couple, and I feel the epolouge was rushed. It was great in what it did answer, but there were so many things she promised to tell us, that she didn't.  I'll probably read it some more, but for now, I'm a bit sad there won't be anymore.  Perhaps she will change her mind? Doubt it, but I can wish.
