For the last 3 weeks I've been reading all of the Harry Potter books. So in a sense, I've been thinking, eating, dreaming Harry Potter. When there wasn't something that absolutely had to be done, I was reading the books, one right after the other. I was hooked! It was "constant vigilance"! I just finished book 7 on Saturday night. I found myself sobbing (I'm not ashamed to admit it) through the end and was happy with the ending...yet very sad that it was over! Seriously, I can't believe that I've never read them, but at the same time, glad that I didn't have to wait a year in between books! I think the romantic in me would have liked the books to continue as the relationships developed, so to me, the Epilogue was unsatisfactory. I'd rather have had Harry as an old man taking a trip down memory lane (through the Pensieve) with his wife...sort of like viewing Snape's thoughts...with a glimpse of the special moments. Anyway, just my ramblings but I am really sad that it's over! I need to see the movies now, but I hope they aren't a disappointment.
I just have to add that a friend of mine told me about a new series that's just as good as Harry Potter. It's called Twilight by Stephanie Meyer (an active LDS girl in Utah). Read about it on her website www.stepheniemeyer.com . It's kind of like the link between the magical world and muggles in Harry Potter, but with vampires and humans. Don't write it off until you see the website!

I started reading HP this summer. I'm a slower reader, however, and with school here now too, I'm still reading the second one. I am loving them. I have to admit, I didn't love the movie after reading the book. I think there is so much detail that the movie leaves out. My sisters-in-law LOVE twilight and the other two that go along with it.
yeah rachelle, i've heard the twilight series is great. i think i'm going to start on them soon.
Hi Rachelle--I have several friends reading the Twilight series also. I've heard it's very addicting!
Rachelle you are soooo awesome!!! I totally know the feeling of if it doesn't HAVE to happen than it won't until the book is done. In your case books!!! I can't believe you read them all!!! Aren't they so great!!!! I was sad to see it come to an end too. I'll have to look into the other series - thanks for mentioning it. Anyway i also agree with the alisa CD. It was so good.
Good job, Rachelle!! Go Harry Potter. It's always good to see another person who loves the Harry Potter series. Neither me nor Katie have read any of the Twilight books, but I've only heard good things.
