I will admit that I pretty much didn't think about blogging all weekend. I didn't even do much checking of email. I was too busy reading the latest and last Harry Potter book. There were other things to get done to be sure. I bought the book yesterday morning at Costco, and only got to read a few chapters because there was family time and other things going on. I continued reading after dinner, and ended up staying until 3 in the morning. That got me to page 519 or chapter 26. I wanted to keep reading, but knew I would not be able to drag myself out of bed for church if I didn't go to bed. After we finally got home from church and other meetings this afternoon I picked up where I left off and finished the book an hour or two ago. Don't worry, I am not going to spoil anything. Like that part where Harry screams "You killed my Father!" and Voldemort says "I AM your Father!" then proceeding to cut off Harry's hand and send it and the wand it was clutching into oblivion...oh...wait...that was a different saga. No worries...I am not going to spoil anything here.
I am not even sure I should say whether I liked the book or not, since that in itself might be taken for some kind of spoiler...but I did read all 759 pages in less than 31 hours from the time of purchase...so that must be saying something.
Anyhow, those of you that have read it or are reading it, let me know if you like it, but please refrain from spoilers in the comments, just in case!

I think I am the only one who hasn't started to read it, yet. My oldest read it in less than 8 hours, she could probably tell you exactly how long. But she reads like a maniac and isn't a mom! Then when I went to take the book she said she was rereading it. What? When is it my turn???
Harry who? I don't know what all the fuss is about. SOme kid who likes ceramics. I have yet to read the first book... or see the movie. I do, however know all about cardiovascular disease risk factors by differing ethnic backgrounds. Boy was that an exciting paper to read. And the ending... I wo'nt spoil it for you, you will have to read it yourself.
I've never read a HP book or seen a HP movie. Not my cup of tea. Hope you will forgive this muggle though. ;)
Valdemort is Harry's FATHER?
Geez, finally I find three other people like me that haven't read it, or any of the books yet. I was beginning to feel lonely.
We have some doubters out there, it appears. I am a fan and bought the book before school Saturday morning as soon as Sam's Club opened. I caught a few pages of reading in before my class and then have done some hit and miss reading. I'm on page 230-something where Harry accidentally kills Hermione when his wand misfired (Hah...just kidding).
Anyway, I hope to finish some time soon. It doesn't help that I have finals this week...arg!!!
I was shocked that Hermione got knocked up at the end of the book.
JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!
Who is Harry's real Father then? Is it Dumbeldore?
I'm suprised Harry didn't use his Wand to make a Bomb.
