My Friend Harry (minor spoiler alert)

So I guess you could call me a bit of a rebel. My parents can count themselves lucky because of the way I chose to rebel. When all those Harry Potter books came out, I did not want to conform to the social norm. I refused! Okay, so I did start the first book during my freshman year of college, got distracted, and never finished it, but after that I refused! When the first movie came out I didn't want to see it. I made it about a year until I finally sat down and watched it (I did enjoy it). So then I decided that there is no point to reading the books, I can just wait for the movies! And I did. Until July. Then I got tricked into reading the first 6 books in a month.

We went on a road trip to Utah and Jonesy put the audio version of book one on for us to listen to. That was a huge mistake. Jim Dale has a magical ability to pull you into the story while keeping all the charm and suspense in tact(don't google that line, I stole it from an online review). After getting through the first book, I just had to get the second...then the third....and so on. When I got to the sixth book I found myself staying up way too late (or too early, rather) and I was not doing a very good job of taking care of my children. When school started, I decided I couldn't go on like this. With 12 credits, two kids, a dirty house, and a wonderful (but needy) husband I just wouldn't be able to find the time to read book 7. I decided to leave it on the shelf until December.

So yeah... I've just finished reading Chapter Five: Fallen Warrior. I don't know why I'm wasting my time writing this... I need to find out what's going to happen! Is Snape REALLY evil? Is (spolier alert) Dumbledore REALLY dead?? Who ELSE is going to die?!?! And most importantly: WHEN ARE RON AND HERMIONE GOING TO HOOK UP?!?!?! So yeah... I'm going to go read some more.
