I just finished reading the seventh and final Harry Potter book, a journey that took me roughly 12 hours today but much more time than that over the past nine years. As usual I was enthralled from start to finish, and I found the conclusions and revelations in this final tome to be worth the dedication of my adolescence. I imagine it will take some time to sink in over the next few days, and I plan to reread the entire series as soon as time allows. I look forward to buying the boxed set at some point in the future and sharing the magic with my kids, many years down the line. JK Rowling, I commend and thank you.
In the meantime, I will satisfy myself with gazing adoringly on pictures of Emma Watson and hoping that someday, the perennial rumor will be true, and she will enroll at the Hogwarts of the West, charming Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vermont.
PS: Harry dies in the end.
