Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows is Perfect!


I did a grand speed-reading record yesterday - I received my Harry Potter in the mail at 11:00a.m. and finished it at 9:00p.m. with just a few bathroom breaks and meal breaks, but usually I was reading at those times. I did not read the end first. I don't think I've ever read a book so fast, and I'm a very, very fast reader....just ask my family....I will ignore them for the time it takes to finish any book I like.....at least I do it quickly.


I have got to agree with the many reviews out there that this is indeed the best of the series. It is a truly masterful completion bring all the story arcs and characters together for a finale that is better than any of the other fantasy stories of all time. I can't wait to see how they make this into a movie! I won't giveaway plot or other tidbits for those who are still reading, but it contains many twists and answers so many unanswered plot questions. If only Lost would do the same! I am very pleased with the entire outcome! So will Stephen King.

Harry Potter Almost Here!

I saw on the morning news that record numbers of the Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows have, of course, been ordered. I have mine coming from Walmart.com, but Amazon.com says the 2nd largest mail order came from the zip code across the river from me in Orange Park, FL! That is in the entire USA! Maybe we'll go to one of the parties there tonight. By the way, the number one city ordering books was Falls Church, VA. So those government types like Harry too!

Quidditch Anyone? Harry Potter is a world of it's own

I loved this article about how college students created a way to play Harry Potter's magical game Quidditch in real life. I think the last line says it all...

"Running around on brooms does appeal to a surprising number of college students."

I think I'll send my kids there ;)

In the meantime Happy Harry Potter Weekend! I have my copy coming in the mail on Saturday!

Harry Potter to the Rescue of Missing Madeleine

It is wonderful that author J. K. Rowling, of Harry Potter fame, is donating what may be millions in reward money to help find little Madeleine McCann. Help us get her photo and this message out around the world.
