Is It Cheating If You Don't Read The Middle...
Have you read the last Harry Potter book? Consider this your own Pittsburgh/Potter chat room. I've now read the first 300 pages and the last 150. I'm working on the middle. Couple of thoughts to get started.
---So far my favorite part of the book has been when Harry entered the forest. Yes, I cried like a little girl, but I thought it was an amazing chapter in the book...one of the best chapters in all seven books.
---Thought the epilogue was cheesy, but as my husband reminded me, "children's book". Can't kill the hero in a children's book...
---Just when you thought the 'wizard fight' between Dumbledore and Voldemort in 'Phoenix' was awesome, here comes Mrs. Weasley putting the SMACKDOWN on Beatrix!!! Great moment in the book!
---Okay, your turn. Best moment, worst moment, what was YOUR ending?

Ahh!!! I hadn't finished reading the book when I came across this :( I am now done and have to say that I really, really enjoyed this book. The epilogue may have been a bit cheesy but in an interview she said she really wanted to try and tie things up.
It's so hard to pick a favorite part. I liked how Neville had gone from being this geeky putz to a tough "warrior". Love him!! I didn't particularly care for the part where Dumbledore and Harry had a long conversation with that thing moaning in the background. I was bored.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the book and am saddened that it has come to an end after all these years.

I loved the book and admit I also cried like a little girl when Harry went into the forest. It was one of the best chapters in the entire series, if not the best.
My favorite moment of the book? Mrs. Weasley taking out Bellatrix! I laughed so hard at that part! It was great.
I didn't mind the epilogue too much, though I know lots of people did. It was nice to see Hary was finally happy and got what he always wanted- a family. It is nice to finally have answers, but it is sad that it is all over.
Kate- I can't believe you read the end before reading the middle! There is no way I could have done that. It definately IS cheating :)

Would have NEVER read the ending first, but we were talking about the book on the show less than 48 hours after we got it. Add an infant to the mix, and there's NO WAY I would have finished that book in time. I've been done for a few days now and was not disappointed ---the middle was ALSO excellent! I just read that the director for Half Blood Prince (same as Phoenix), plans to use the last book to set the tone for the movie. Can't wait!
