ROUND THREE: Harry Potter break

when did Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows come out? July... bla bla blaa...?? i think it was the 17th, i'm not sure... but i DO know that i was one of the dorks at the book store pre-registering for it and arrived at 1am to pick up my copy (note: i was NOT there at 12:01am in costume, so i'm not that bad). i then came home and was able to stay awake to read the first chapter or so, then fell asleep. however, i woke up the next morning and proceeded to read for pretty much a day and a half straight until it was finished. WOW! anyone who really knows me will know what a harry potter nut i am, and WOA!!!! soooooo awesome!
the most difficult part was waiting for charles and my mom to finish reading it so that i could talk to them about all of the exciting parts - which they have now done. both were equally thrilled by the amazing story (although not as giddy about it as i am, especially charles... although we have shared our private moments of "go Ron!!"'s and exclamatory "Mrs. Weasely!!!!"'s) but i passed the time during which the book was otherwise occupied by reading another book, and now i have decided to read it again - it's that good.
if you have not already done so, go out and pick up the series from the beginning and read them all. not only are they well written, but they're just plain fun!
