It's Over

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling

Yes, I'm a big fan. Josh and I argued (not seriously) about who would read the final book first. (He won, because I was in D.C., but he had to finish it before I got home).

This final book was a fitting end to the series which I highly recommend. I love reading these books and I do not worry about my children becoming obsessed with the dark arts. Of course, they're much too young for these books. We'll have to figure out how to space them, too, since Caleb will still not be able to read through the whole series when he's ready for the first one.

Anyway, I'm impressed by Ms. Rowling's creative mind and her dedication to her characters. We're looking forward to the "encyclopedia" she's tackling next so we can learn more (backstory and more) about each of them.

If you haven't allowed yourself the pleasure of reading these books, please do not fear the stink of popularity. This is a tremendous series that I predict will fare well the test of time.
