Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows III

Finished. 24 hours, including five and a half hours of sleep and probably an hour and a half of housekeeping (food, dishes, dog, bathroom breaks, etc.), and the time required to type up this message. :) I'd considered just reading straight through the night, but around 3:30 just couldn't keep my eyes open any longer. I got up around 9 this morning to finish.

Wow, the last few chapters are going to be utter chaos on the big screen.

I enjoyed the book, and initially thought I'd be saddened the series is over, but it's been several years, during which time Rowling has always told us it would be over with the seventh book. The only thing in question was the outcome: would Harry survive, or Voldemort? It was a good, suspenseful read. Sometimes it was a bit confusing, especially by the time 3:30 AM had rolled around, and I kept having to re-read entire paragraphs. :)

The first death was sad, as were the third and fourth. I'm now looking forward to getting the CD version, and listening to Jim Dale perform the story. I expect it'll be a topic at our next D&D night, which is next week. Hopefully everybody else'll have read it by then.
