That's it. End of Story. Goodbye. The End.
It's over for me.
I finished it at about 2:30 this morning.
I'm tired.
But I couldn't stop.
I didn't want to finish it on the train.
I feel like I did when Buffy ended.
Sad that the series is actually over.
If you're not done yet, don't rush on my account.
Nothing will be posted here about the book until at least Saturday.
We just got the audio book at work, so I'll probably listen to that and then post my comments
about the last book.

Wanted to archive my sisters thoughts here.....
Don't worry there are no plot spoilers.

So, I decided last night that this would be the day I finish JKR's last
installment. I didn't want to wait any longer to see what happened and I
especially didn't want to be out somewhere and overhear someone talking
about it. Did I want to take my time and savor it? Sure! But the reality
is, there are idiots in this world who just suck and I couldn't take the
chance of running into one. So.....
The last chapter was complete. I now had the whole story. I finished the
book at 2:40 this morning. It was definitely worth plowing through the last
200 pages....I would not have been able to sleep otherwise. I feel this was
her best book, not because of the fact that we now had all the pieces and
she wrapped up of the story, but because of the amount of story that was
crammed into 759 pages.
Did I cry? YES....surprising not as I had for Book 6. I didn't cry for
the losses in "The Dealthy Hallows" as I had for those in "Half Blood
Prince" - ( and I'm not spoiling anything here, JKR said there would be more
dealth) - so much as for the complete "loss" of the Series. I sure I will
come to terms with this over the next few days or maybe weeks. Most likely,
however, I might be able to finally lay it to rest after a couple of months.
Closure will come, I'm sure, when this last book is put to the big screen.
I am happy to say, that 1 of my main predicitons and 2 of my "hopes" were
realized by the end. A few other plot twists that I had thought of were in
there as well, which made me feel asthough, at the very least, I was on the
same page with JKR and her direction.
I am, overall, content in the conclusion, but alas, I am saddened with the
knowledge that these friends I've grown to love are only to be revisited in
7 perfectly published memories. The sweet anticipation of another
installment was snatched away with the closing of the back cover.
That's all. The End. Good Bye.
