The Deathly Hallows
When the fifth book in the Harry Potter series was released in the summer of 2003, I hadn't read any of the subsequent books. I'm not even sure how I got started reading the books1.
However I started reading them, I got hooked real quick. I read the first one after another, and then when the fifth book came out, which was about the same time that I finished the I fourth, I read that one. Then, I was left like millions of other people, wondering what was going to happen to Harry and his friends.
When the sixth book came out, it had been a couple of years, so I re-read the first five before diving into the sixth. Again, after finishing the sixth book, I was left wondering.
This past weekend, the final installment in the series was released. I didn't go out at mid-night and pick it up, though I know some people that did. I happened to be at Target the next day, and picked my copy. I'm looking forward to finding out how the series will end. I haven't decided if I will re-read the other books first. I have read two chapters and I feel like there are a lot of references being made, and I can't recall them all.
Is anyone else reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?
- back I think I may have borrowed the first few from someone. Did I borrow them from you?

Matt and I are on chapter 11. Yes, we read them out loud so we are always on the same part. :) I LOVE it so far!!!
Can I borrow it from you when you're done? I'm workin' hard to stay away from the spoilers!
Certainly. If I ever get started, I'm sure it won't take me long to finish.
I still haven't broken into the Harry Potter scene. I don't condemn it as bad, but I have read some pretty interesting things about the author that make me hesitate to.
I read a really interesting article called 'What Would Jonathan Edwards Say About Harry Potter' the other day. It's a worth a look, but it has a warning at the top that says it spoils some things... so I guess you might want to wait a few days :0)
Read it, loved it. Picked it up on Tuesday after work and finished it late last night. I guess that means I'm a bit of a dork...
So yes... I am a big Harry Potter dork. What Diana says is true -- I read it twice. It's SO good. Jonathan laughed at me when I told him I cried. These books make me feel like a kid again. :)

Justin Taylor's blog, which had a guest post by Joshua Harris yesterday, has some interesting thoughts on H.P.
It sounds like you all might be interested in chiming in.
