Done.

Lo, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of Livejournal
I shall fear no spoilers; for thou art finished;
Thy series and thy ending, they satisfy me.

Which is to say....stayed up Way Too Late™ last night finishing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Thoughts later.

Thank god. I was beginning to feel I was drowning in "wahhh she didn't do what *I* wanted" reviews. I actually decided today to just quit reading anyone's comments on the book, because it seems like people have forgotten how to just enjoy something...

...or perhaps I need a little more sleep. :)

Sleep is good. On the other hand, there *has* been a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth. What's interesting, though unsurprising, is that *what* people are complaining about is largely different.

I had much the same reaction to the book as I did to the Doctor Who Season 3 finale ("Last of the Time Lords"); there was much that, if i examined it closely, falls apart, makes no sense, or is just too absurd. But none of that mattered AT THE TIME. It was emotionally satisfying to my inner-10-year-old, and, honestly, is that what it's about, really?
