I don't have a category called "Books"

On Friday night (Saturday morning), my sister and I got Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows the instant it came out. Getting the book at midnight was easier than I thought it would be. We had already bought a voucher, so when midnight rolled around, my sister and I went to Books-A-Million to pick up our copy. Looking in the window, we saw that there weren't many people there. Once we got inside, we could see that there was a small crowd at the front of the store. Then we saw the line. It went along the side wall. It went along the back wall. It went along the other side wall. That's where we got in line. But just as we entered, it was 12:01 A.M., a choice of time no doubt born of the confusion as to whether the day starts at 00:00 or 00:01. Since all people were doing was exchanging pre-purchased vouchers for books, the line moved quickly, and within 10 minutes, we had our copy.

I finished reading the book today. I must say, it's pretty good. I won't post any spoilers here, but I'd say that the series ended on a satisfying note. Loose ends were tied; old questions were answered; new questions were raised and then answered. If you've read this blog for any length of time, you can tell that I'm pretty sucky at reviewing books and movies, even when I feel free to give important plot details. That said, I really don't have much else to say about the book itself. If you want to read the book without paying for it, spoil everything for your friends, or simply recap the story, here's a lengthy, sarcastic summary of the entire book that I'd say is worth a good laugh. For instance, Yaxley talks like a lolcat. (Of course, it contains pretty much every spoiler, so reader beware.)

Once I finished the book, I came out of Harry Potter emergency anti-spoiler mode (that is, I started communicating with other people again). I found that, in a week's time, my friends didn't try to spoil the book for me at all. Maybe I overreacted, but since they had pretended to spoil it for me before, I figured it was worth it. I'd still say it was, although I should probably have my paranoia checked out. I was half-expecting Luke and Brian to show up at my window shouting out spoilers. Looks like I'm the crazy one. I could still go for some butterbeer, though.
