And so I have finished the last of the books. What a wild ride. Not going to post spoilers yet - far too soon! Just had to say something as DH now has the book so I can't even say Wow! For fear of giving anything away! -------------

He he - not bad going for someone with a 3 week old! I was on boobie duty only today - once we got the book and headed home (got home at 12) I have been ensconced on the couch, stopping only to feed! -------------

So was the deal DH looked after your little girl during the day and you have to look after her now so the book gets finished?

Lol MILF, I couldn't believe they didn't have a simultaneous release of it in the states and Canada - that seemed really odd, that people could have finished it all around the world when they were only just getting it!
And 3 days to read it? They must be very slow readers there! -------------

I'm too cheap to pay NZ prices so am getting it shipped from Amazon (sooo much cheaper! plus mums paying ) So I won't be getting it for another couple of weeks. That's fine by me!

Am I allowed to talk about it yet? There was one part where I got really, really annoyed wtih JK Rowling - it happened so flippantly...I'm guessing because it's I'm a mum and she did something without devoting more than a couple of words to it. ------------- |

Yep - that really, really annoyed me that it was mentioned so casually...I was really upset...and the brief mention in the back. I figured because of who his godfather is and the whole Harry and Neville being orphaned set up over the past six books, there would have been something extra in there. ------------- |
