Wow! This is an awesome book - I think my favorite of the whole series. This book is so intense almost all the way through. I think there was only one paragraph where it kind of slowed down but was essential to the story none-the-less.

Wow - again. John and I were at Barnes and Noble Friday night for the release and went home right away to get reading. Unfortunately, because we woke up early for work that day - we couldn’t stay up all night. I didn’t go to sleep until 5:30 or so. The next day was filled with reading, eating, and reading some more. It was fun to stop after every chapter and discuss what happened and what we though was going to happen. Or to look at each other in amazement or sadness, or just to revel at how wonderful Jo (J.K. Rowling) had written that chapter. This is seriously the best book (best series) that I have ever read. (and yes, I’ve read other things before lol)

We finally finished on Saturday night. I kind of feel sad like I anticipated. Not from what happens in the book but just because this was the end. No more Harry Potter books, no more continuations, no more theories (well, maybe just a little). At least I can still look forward to the movies. The next (and last) two are going to be awesome for sure!

Good read. I love how it’s getting out that this book is not evil and does not promote evil but instead the opposite.

I’m Catholic and I love reading Harry Potter books (and watching the movies). I’ve always been disappointed and saddened whenever I read about certain people saying that Harry Potter is evil. When you read the books - you can see that it is a fight between good and evil and the book teaches about love, friendship, and a lot of good things.

I found this article online and it said that the Catholic Church has nothing against the Harry Potter series (in other words). http://www.realtruth.org/news/030206-002.html Cool!

Wow, it’s here.  The release date of the final book.  Is it time to be sad or time to be elated?  I don’t know.  I feel both.  I’m so excited because I’ve been waiting so long to find out what happens next.  I was left feeling “robbed” after the last book.  Robbed of a very important person and sad that they were gone.  (Of course I’m not mentioning who it is here for spoiler purposes).  I have so many theories and I want to see if any of them are correct.  This is why I’m highly anticipating this book release.  I’m also extremely sad though.  Harry Potter is such a wonderful and fulfilling read that what am I going to do once it’s done?  After this, there will be no more… Nothing to look forward to, no more anticipation, no more theorizing, no more Harry… :(  I’m just stuck in the middle… 

The great thing is that Jo (J.K.Rowling) has said that this is her favorite book!  That makes me want it even more.  Wow, this is going to be a great summer - a great July.  Both a movie and a book coming out within 2 weeks of each other…  yea!

The Happy Feet website now has the Harry Potter teaser trailer for streaming: http://www.happyfeetmovie.com/  Wow, the 5th movie looks like it’s going to be really good!  Go ahead - go watch it NOW!  you know you want to…

John and I are super huge Harry Potter fans.  The books are just remarkable for children and adults alike.   If you haven’t read them, you are missing out.  The movies don’t contain all the intricate information that J.K. Rowling puts into her books.  It’s amazing how that woman can write!  Anyway, the preview for the new Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie is coming out before the new “Happy Feet” movie and you know I’ll be first in line for that!  Some people luckily got to pre-screen the movie recently and saw the trailer.  Here’s a synopsis that somebody gave by clicking here.  It’s awesome and I can’t wait!
