No. 47: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by JK Rowling

A few weeks ago, when I realized that the FINAL Harry Potter movie would be released soon, I got all in a tizzy to read the whole series and watch all the movies to prepare myself. Fortunately or unfortunately (depending on who you are) I could only find book 7 and my brother borrowed all my movies. So my preparation consisted entirely of reading this book. And it took place in a world record amount of time. Because of this simple equation:

5 hour energy + 52 oz diet coke + Harry Potter book 7 = book finished in 3 hours, floor washed, several loads of laundry done and an hour of sewing

You should try it some time, unless you (unlike me - obviously) do not require an unhealthily large amount of caffeine to function normally. If this is you, maybe skip the 5 hr energy.

Oh how I love this book, and this whole series while we are on the subject. I cannot wait for my girls to be old enough to love it like I do. Or, for them to be old enough for me to read it to them whether they love it or not (but also old enough so they don't have nightmares or cry too much about the orphan/unloving guardian part - that is sad)

So, in sum, Harry Potter is awesome. I loved the movie too and cried in advance of all the truly sad parts because I knew they were coming and I got sad just thinking about it. So basically it was a lot of me crying in advance, crying when actually called for, and overall happiness because I had been waiting for that movie for A LONG TIME!!!
