Yes, boys and girls...I finally finished it. I just finished reading Book 6 just a half hour ago, at 4:30 in the morning my time thanks to a 2-liter bottle of Code Red that has kept me up all night (thank God I have no work for the next 3 1/2 days!). I promise for those who haven't finished that I won't give anything away, but I feel compelled to say...WOW. How anyone can criticize these books without reading them, or says their just for kids ought to have their head examined. I have read hundreds and hundreds of books in the 17 + years since I first started reading at age 3, and I can count on one hand theauthors I have come across who write a tale half as engrossing or as complex as J.K. Rowling. Do yourselves a big favor and read this book!
