Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

I have finally finished the new Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows which is Rowling's 7th and final book.  It is in my opinion most unfortunate that this will be her last Harry Potter book because I just love the story and it's not too difficult to read.  Harry Potter is a children's book but it has a strange adult following.  I think out of the 8.1 million books sold on Saturday the day it was sold about 90% of that are people ages 20 to 70.  It's a story for all ages not just the kiddies.


I will not be giving you a spoiler warning because I am not spoiling anything for anybody.  I keep my promise J.K.  I loved this book.  I laughed, I cried, I was concerned for the 3 main characters on their quest.  I cried some more here and there.  Let's just say, if you read this book invest your money in a box of tissues.  Or a roll of paper towels.  Or just get a beach towel, you never know.  Your sleeves are going to need to be put in the dryer if you have to resort to that.  Trust me.  I'm a guy and I cried like a baby.  And not all of that were sad tears either.  Ok, half and half.  I'm not kidding.  BUY IT!


Let me just end by pleading to J.K. Rowling.... "Please, don't stop writing.  If it can't be Harry Potter then something else, but don't stop writing."

Just an update. J.K. Rowling has written 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard' and it will be available to the public on December 4th 2008. I pre-ordered it many months ago when I got the email from Barnes and Noble and Amazon.com (I pre-ordered it through amazon) and I got an email recently saying I will get it in the mail the same day people will be able to buy it in the stores.
