I agree with Christy: the ending of book 5 is way better than the ending of movie 5. So you still have a bunch of stuff to discover!

Yeah, my husband was a Potter widower all weekend too. At least, he was once my copy arrived… it didn’t show up until Saturday afternoon and I was beside myself with anxiety and impatience. Real fun to live with.

I promise not to let anything slip!

I’m with wenders. I’m about 1/3 of the way through 7, but i want to stop and finish re-reading 6 (which I had started to do last week leading up to the purchase of 7). Taz is still way back on book 2. Good luck in class!

I like Ruth’s solution: reading and knitting accomplished at the same time. (I know people who can read actual paper books and knit at the same time. I am not one of them.)

I won’t be reading mine until after September 18 … so don’t tell me a THING at SnB either. Why September? I’ve order all 7 books in a treasure box gift set so I’ll have the complete set in hardcover. I had past each of the others after reading them onto the grandchildren who also read them, but now I want the complete set for myself so I can go back and reread when I want. (like maybe when I’ve retired, huh?)

I know … it’s silly.

I didn’t finish my re-read of 6 until Sunday morning. Got book 7 at noon on Sunday. I’m so afraid of spoilers. My whole commute this morning was iPod in ears, volume turned up to avoid overhearing anything, with my nose in book 7. My every conversation starts with “I have not yet finished.”

Seeing the movie is very different than reading the book. The book is far more entertaining. Like Wifey, I have finished the series at this point, but cannot speak of it in my own home, as oldest child has her nose buried deep in it right now. Middle child is slightly ahead of you, reading HBP.

Good luck.

We picked up our copy at midnight Friday. Her Ladyship finished it at 3:30P Saturday (time out for a — very little — sleep and a riding lesson, but aside from that it was much like your house), then I picked it up and finished this morning.

I’m listening to the CD while I work on my sockapalooza socks. Because the story is that good.

I am re-reading 6 right now, and while Sparky and I did go get 7 at midnight, we got home and read one chapter and then stopped. We sort of don’t WANT to read it, since once we’ve read it, it’s over for-evah…

Power through with your ears closed
The ending of book 5 is much better than the movie ending….a bit more comic relief and nuance
