"Taking a Harry Potter Vacation"

I just picked up my copy of the new, and supposedly final Harry Potter novel. I've had a busy day and finally got around to reading past the William Penn quote on the first page, which is sort of about death and remembrance. I'm in chapter 5 and there's been a lot of death. Looks like the bad guys are winning. Is Dick Cheney a "Death Eater"? Perhaps that will be the surprise ending.

Anyway, my posts may be scarce as I work my way through this vital new piece of fine literature. (cough, cough)

If you'd only gone out to your local independent book store at midnight last night, you'd be close to finished by now!

ah,but the goal is not to finish, but enjoy the ride. I want to savor this book, this precious book.....I may have to go back to Borders (ahem) to get the audio version......

You've already spilled the beans about the first five chapters. I'm sorry, but I guess I'll have to avoid your blog until I've read the book.

Ed, I didn't know you were such a fan! I have it from several witnesses that you attended the Borders Harry Potter ball dressed as "Mad-Eye" Moody. True?
