Coming to the End

Yesterday, Rob and the girls pre-ordered the last Harry Potter novel at the local bookstore. The store is having a release party for all who pre-order, and we are excited to be able to go (assuming we are in town).

I’m very torn. While I’m excited to read a new installment, knowing that it is the last one is making me feel like I want to put off reading it as long as possible. It’s the last, and I just don’t want it to end. Could I read a page a day? Would someone (like Camille, perhaps) end up giving away the ending? Will there really be an ending to the book? I have a sinking feeling that JKR is going to leave us hanging. My guess is that we are not going to really know for sure if Harry lives or dies at the end….

Sigh.
