Today's Sally Forth comic in the paper described my feelings on Harry Potter so well.

I finally finished my reading last night around 10:53pm. I had only started on Saturday afternoon, and even read it while waiting for the Harry Potter movie (at Imax) to start yesterday.
At this point I will only say... Wow, what a great series. And that I was right about Snape. Thank you Ms. Rowling for such a great series that appeals as much to this Mom of three as it appeals to the kids.
I may post the rest of my thoughts sometime later, when others are done reading, and I've caught up on my household chores, email, and sewing... which all went to the way side to read the last book.
