Finally! I can read and post and express my utter enjoyment of this entire series. I went on a "communication" sabbatical while reading the book. I didn't watch any TV (other than discovery channel), didn't read ANY internet anything, or check my mail, and wouldn't accept calls from my own mom until I was done. She was reading it too, and she always finishes a bit before me. She won't reveal the info, but say little things that lead me to "know" before I finish.
This was my fav of all the books, as each got progressively better and better. My mom and I had a shared opinion that turned out to be right on the money, and I was correct in my theory of how it would end. It took around 12 hours total, and I started Saturday (the 21st) afternoon, but only got about 100 pages that day. I finished at 11:20 pm last night and went to sleep satisfied. Now I will be off to see Order of the Phoenix sometime soon.
