Deathy Hallows
Just finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows sometime yesterday. I didn't get a chance to post about it until now.
When I went to pick up my book at Barnes and Nobles at midnight on Friday, the place was a madhouse. I think it was a bit disorganized at first, but I think once midnight came, the process of people getting the book got better. I received my book just before 12:30 am, and then went back, took a shower, and started reading it.
This is just something of a first impressions kind of thing, so I won't go into too much detail. Overall, I loved the book. I'm not disappointed at all. With one tiny exception: the epilogue. I mean, it's just ridiculous! What's with naming kids after parents? Also, Albus Severus? I dunno, to me, the epilogue didn't really need to be there.
After all this, I'm a bit sad. I mean, I'm very glad to read the final book of Harry Potter, but that's just it. It's the final book. There won't be any excitement of speculating what's going to happen in the next book. I'm just sad that there is no next book. Part of me always gets excited as I wait to read the next HP book. I knew it had to come to an end. But I thought it was good end. (Well, except for the epilogue.)
Will probably post more of my thoughts on the book later!
