It came on Saturday. I wasn’t home, but fedex dropped it off anyway. We were out of town (we went to Charlotte, NC to see the Lion King, the play not the movie) but it was waiting for me when I got back. The lawn needed mowing and the girls needed to be put to bed, but once that was taken care of I was able to settle down for the evening with HP and the Deathly Hallows.

I have to say, while it was a good read, I was a little disappointed by the outcome of the book. The people who were killed off in the book were not who I expected, though the outcome of the book was what I expected, the way it came about was not. It was interesting to read though, how Rowling left it open to more books in the future. She did do a nice job of wrapping things up and explaining things through the use of devices we had seen in the previous books as well as explaining more of why things were the way they were and showing that even ultimately bad people could change.

Before the book came I started rereading the series, I was almost through with book four when I read book seven, so I think I’ll finish four, read five and six and then reread seven, a little slower this time, to pick up everything I missed the first time around.
