Seriously, tell me how it ends. I can't get into Harry Potter and I own the first five books. So somebody just tell me how it all turns out. We already have the spoiler warning in the title, so feel free.

I am sorry that I can't be the one to spoil the ending for you. I am quite pleased with how JK Rowling ended it, but I have made a promise to myself that I would give others about 48 hours to read it before I started discussing it in depth. I don't want to inadvertently tell someone who hasn't finished the book yet something (like how I was told of the big death in The Half-Blood Prince.
It has been a while since I have looked so forward to reading a book. I can only hope that another author publishes books that drive so many people to read.

I just finished it. It was absolutely perfect.
I'd post spoilers, but I'm going to go back and read it again.

I finished it at 6am and really want to re-read it; unfortunately, my husband has it now and he can't read nearly as fast as I do!

Got the book today!
I have to re-read a few books to get back into the swing of things before I can allow myself to read the final one.
I peaked at my book though, looked at the artwork, read a few sentances etc.
And I'm obviously seeking out just a few spoilers to get a taste of what's to come!!!

ME TOO!!!! I finished it RIGHT before I had to go to work, and I was hysterical the whole way there and couldn't stop crying, i just kept thinking of the last sentence over and over... JK completely outdid herself. but with all that information about Snape, I mean, I think I knew deep down that it was the truth all along, but I just hated him so much, and Dumbledore trusted him so much, I just... didn't want to believe it. Was anyone else so frustrated throughout the book, during their quest? I suppose that is exactly what she wanted though, to really get the desperation, feel what they were feeling.
I get so into the books... I just got home from work and I'm going to re-read it.

Book was great. I cried. I laughed. I cried some more. I went to Times Square Toys R Us for the release although I ordered it from Amazon...and I finished it within 8 hours of getting it at my front door.
So good.
BTW, did you all hear that she was planning on killing Arthur in OotP?

Come to think of it, there's also Pansy Parkinson, Horace Slughorn, Rufus Scrimgeour, Ernie McMillan, Seamus Finnegan, Dean Thomas, Lee Jordon, Delores Umbridge, Adrian Pucey, Miles Bletchly, Marcus Flint, Theodore Nott and Millicent Bullstrode.
Oh well.

To be accurate, she did not receive a Hugo for writing the series. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire received the 2001 Hugo for best novel, and not without controversy.
I certainly could be wrong, but I'd be surprised if that's the reason for the name, since she JKR received the award in absentia.

I agree. I want to know too. Does Harry get married or does he die? I can't get into the series, but with all of the hype, you can't help it.
