Deathly Hallows

Warning, spoiler alert!

I'm warning you!

I know there are one or two people out there who haven't finished the Harry Potter series yet, and don't want to know about the last book.

This is your last warning!

I'm about halfway through Deathly Hallows right now. I guess I started it about two weeks ago. Yes, in two weeks, I'm only halfway through.

Ron has just came back, and the horacrux has been destroyed by the sword.

I find this book to be completely dragging. I've heard so many good things about it. That it is probably one of the best two in the series. I've been reading all of them in order. I've enjoyed them all (some more than others).

But I feel like Elaine from Seinfeld when she and Peterman were at the movies watching The English Patient. She says, "Quit telling your stupid story, about the stupid desert, and just die already!"

Well, I'm not looking for anyone to die, but I sure wish it would pick up a bit.

It makes me totally understand why Ron left.

Now that he's back. I hope I can understand why as well.

The books get more and more depressing as Harry gets older. It is supposed to represent life or something. Hope you finally finished. I read it in only two sittings. Too many deaths!!! Good wins over evil but the cost is just too great.
Wish the book had been better. What did Harry wind up doing as an adult? We only found out about Neville. Too many questions. Time to write the next chapter.

That's how I felt about LOTR Return of the King (the movie).

By the time we'd sat through 2 hours, I was like "get on with it already!"

LOL

I like the Harry Potter movies but haven't even peeped at a page in any of the books.
