It better not suck like the M*A*S*H finale. Or the Seinfeld finale. Or the Sopranos finale. Man, I'm starting to have a bad feeling about this...

I did my anti-Potter ranting a while back, and no longer feel a need to do more. But I pretty much totally agree with the drunken snarling, all the same, and may, eventually, some year, read more than just the 1st (really not very good) book. I don't really get the enthusiasm.
