Happy Harry Day!

I bought the book today. It was fresh out of the box. I watch the guy open the box and take one out for me. It was very exciting!

I started reading the HP books when I saw the third film and it didn't make much sense. I was going on a trip alone (after Braden weened himself) and I thought it would be a good book to take a long. I read the 4th and 5th book just this past fall while I spent A LOT of time sitting and nursing. You would think 600 pages would take awhile to go through ... but they went very fast.

I just saw the 5th movie and knew the 7th book was on its way, so I borrowed book 6 and read it last week. Book 6 was pretty much like all the other books, with a few more plot twists . BUT it was the ending.... it was almost a cliff hanger. It was like " well now I have to know what happens, we are so close to the end".

I will probably give my copy away or sell it on eBay when I am done. If I ever buy the series I will wait until it comes out as a complete set. The next question is "should I go American? or English? and if I go English do I go Children's version or Adult?" The story is the same in all three versions, just the cover art... with the exception of the first title being HP and the Philosophers Stone as the original... not sure why here they changed it to Sorcerers Stone?

Does anyone else know? Anyone?

I hope you notice this comment.

So I just finished reading book 5. I was in the middle of it when the movie came out and thought this would be a great opportunity to have read through a book before seeing the movie, which honestly has happened few times. It left me in a state of depression. Multiple times throughout the book I moped around or yelled at my children extra... Depths of Despair. Thanks for not ruining anything about the sixth book. If you want to send me your last two books when your done I'll let you. Or I can get them on my own which I was forced to do with the last two! I'm glad I'm not Harry Potter. Or Jesus. Both would be difficult.
