   There’s a spoilerfest going on over at the NHs if you want to talk about it.

   And what do you think?

   I’m still not sure how I feel.

   Can you believe that Lord Voldemort was his real father?!!?

   Kidding! I hope. Just got my copy last night, hoping for time to read it today.

   300 pages in. Taking a minor internet break.

   Took me 10 straight hours yesterday (It arrived at 2:30pm, I finished it at 12:30 in the morning), but I read the entire thing. I’m still processing. Given that Rowling was clearly going to disappoint some people because she couldn’t write 18 choose-your-own-adventure endings, I thought it was pretty satisfying.

   I blocked out yesterday to read it.

   When I got Order of the Phoenix, I didn’t have time to finish it for several days, and a guy at work kept leaving post-its on my book: “I know how it ends,” “I know who dies,” and the like.

   You can’t have finished it already?? Did you read the last chapter first?

   I’m not sure how I feel about the end, either. I did like the book, and I cried a bit reading it, though.

   Ooo, me too, me too!

   “The End.”

    Shhhhh! *plugs ears and covers eyes* I don’t want to know. My partner began a holiday in Oregon yesterday. She’ll be gone for a week and when she returns she’ll bring a copy of the book. At which point I’ll spend the next several weeks reading it to her at night, complete with my own voices for the characters. Until then, I’m avoiding the spoiler sites.

    I still can’t believe that Ron Weasley was really Keyser Söze.

    Just finished it — took me about 7 hours or so. I thought it was very satisfying. Ended the way I wanted it to, but with enough red herrings that I did get genuinely worried. And one death made me tear up in a major way.

    I got it yesterday evening and read it straight through. The wife wasn’t exactly happy about it, but for what its worth, I did finish before dawn.

    I completely wasn’t expecting the Hermione/Cho/Ginny three-way. Damn.

    My eyes were leaking a little at the end.

    *sort-of-spoiler alert*

    [just scan right on past if you haven’t finished it yet]

    I was getting royally bummed before the halfway point–which is I think how Rowling wanted the reader to feel. Tough going for a while, but pretty satisfying in the end.

    So…will Rowling just sit on her pile of Sterling and raise her kids, or does she have something else under the Invisibility Cloak?
