Harry Potter

Well I returned home from our trip excited to find my book (which arrived in the mail later the day we left for vacation!! it was a long week of knowing it was there and I had to wait. I'm pitiful!) The worst part was seeing it EVERYWHERE, including the airport the morning we left for Cali. But I resisted and when I arrived home I began reading, what a book, I admit it, I LOVE the harry potter books, the movies are fun but the books in my opinion are much better. More happens in the books than in the movies. It was sad reading the 7th potter book and know it would be the last. I've always had sometime to look forward to, waiting on a new book to come out. Now it's just up to the movies and there are only 2 more to go. But let me say, what an adventure, and to think about the amount of imagination J.K. Ralwings has, wow! From things like well platform 9 3/4, Gillyweed, Hogsmead, Hogwarts, Quidditch, dementors(the guards of Azkaban prison) and so much more along with the whole other world that she created just sucked me in. I realize it's kinda a hit or miss, people either like/love it, or they could care nothing for it, but if your into a whole new thinking, and are wanting to have your imagination stretched, it's a good one to try out! I'm sad its over but it's been a great adventure. I started reading the books back when the first harry potter came out and it's been that long since i read the first few books, so being a nerd I have picked up the books once more and I am amazed at how much I have forgotten. If anyone else is out there and they are into harry potter, let me know what you thought of this last book, i don't want to say much about it because if anyone is looking to read it i don't want to spoil it!
well now that I sound like a harry potter nerd I will let you all go and await any comments.

Well, it must run in the family--we're Harry Potter nerds too. :-)
