We have two copies and two posters and could've gotten two of the boxes that came shipped in but didn't want to stand in yet another line. We spent the evening at Borders where the kids were in a Potter spelling bee, we had birthday cake for Harry, watched a costume contest, and got sorted into houses by a sorting hat (Girlie is a Gryffindor and the Boy is a Ravenclaw)... A good time was had by all and they both read the last sentence first, so I do know what the last sentence is!

I don't know how late they stayed up reading but they are still sound asleep. I took that opportunity to read the last chapter and then the first two chapters.

I walked past the bookstore in Grand Central - and no joke there was this grown azz man wearing the Potter glasses and a green cape. i thought it was a sweater or jacket and shrugged it off.
but then on the way home, i passed the bookstore AGAIN and there he was with some friends with the CAPE ON and hunched over reading one of the books.
I guess its a good i dea to go to a bookstore that no one really goes to vs. a Barnes and Noble... but it still struck me as odd.

I just finished the book, and no I have not been to bed yet. WOW! JK Rowling certainly outdid herself. I really cannot imagine too many people who are going to be upset with this ending. I will admit I checked the last page to see if the last word was truly scar.
I laughed and sobbed while reading it. I am going to get some sleep and then read it again so I can take in the whole book!

Oh yeah, I'd also like to know what happened to Harry's profession. After all, no one is Harry year could've really finished school. Hogwart's was half-destoyed before Year 7 was up. Is there a Wizarding GED? I dunno, Generally Excepted Degree? And what happened to George...I can't imagine his life without Fred.

This book was fantastic! I was so engrossed in the second half, that I'd get a little testy if I had to put it down. Thankfully Pike and Phi Delt sons were reading their copies at the same time. My husband was acting grumpy and was obviously feeling a little left out. After about the 10th interruption, Phi Delt son found his copy of "The Sorcerer's Stone", gave it to his dad told him he couldn't up until he read the first 5 chapters. That did the trick and now he's hooked, too!

At the end of the final chapter prior to the epilogue, Harry had some thought about finally being able to sleep in the Gryffindor tower again & wondered if Kreacher would bring him up a sandwich. *shrugs*
Despite the amount of damage the castle withstood, I think it stands to reason that it re-opened fairly quickly allowing Harry & those of his year to get an "abbreviated" graduation of some sort.
From the epilogue, I'm figuring that Harry & Ginny married within 7 years of the final battle if their son James was already beyond his 1st year (did the book specify what year he was in?) and Albus & Rose were first years. Ginny & Hugo are 9 year olds. It is also heavily implied that Scorpius is also a first year.
Did I miss anything else? I'm sure I did. I just finished my second read of the book and my mind is muddled with medicine and a stupid cold (darn students).
Finally, I am curious & hope she answers this one day but are Harry & Ginny living at Grimmauld Place? Godric's Hallow at his parents old cottage? WHERE!!!
Damn unanswered questions.
