I think a great title for that last book would have been "Harry Potter and the Sleepless Hollows".
There are bags under the bags under my eyes here.
First I stay up with her Friday night so that we can pick up her book at 12:01. Took lots of coffee to do that since I had to drive thirty minutes to get to the bookstore and back. Oh, did I mention that I was up early Friday morning so that I could get to the bookstore to pick up her orange armband??? Anyway, by time we got home I was still too hyped up to sleep and I wouldn't have been able to anyway, since once she got settled in her chair with her painkiller she immediately started reading. Every few pages she would call and tell me what was happening. By 2:30 I'd had enough and told her I would wait to read it when she was done....Got up at 6:30 Saturday morning worried that she hadn't gotten any rest; she had fallen asleep at about 6 and managed to sleep for a few hours before she got up and started reading again. She read straight thru till 2am Sunday morning and finished the book. Could I go to sleep during that time...nooooooooooooo.....I had to stay awake to hear all the important stuff and because I knew a couple of things that were going to really upset her and I wasn't sure how she would handle them, even at her age. No worry though...she handled it fine.
I got the book at 9:30 this morning and read it straight thru. Okay, I'm a reader and have been all my life so I was done with the book by 4pm. Good book btw...no spoilers here though. I know the people who really love the series won't want to see any and for those who are just curious...well, tough.
One thing I will say though....I am doing the "I told you so" dance about Snape.....
