Mine Mine Mine

It is 12:42. I have just returned from procuring my copy of Deathly Hallows.

It is my intention not to sleep till I've finished.

I have a bottle of wine at the ready, with which to console/celebrate upon finishing.

Wheeeee!

Finished!

I finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows at 8:32am. So I actually sat down to read at roughly 12:50am, so accounting for a couple of potty breaks and a refresh on the caffeine, 7.5 hours for 750 pages. I feel slow; I used to read faster than that. Admittedly, there were some parts I had to re-read, because for some reason it didn't jive in the brain the first time around. Didn't happen too often, though.

And to avoid my own curse....

( HERE THERE BE SPOILERS!!! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! )

You have all been duely warned by the above. I accept no responsibility if you clicky (the_other_jen I'm looking at you); however, I spoke in broad generalities for the most part. I only really spoiler one thing, and you'll only get it if you have either been big into the Book 7 theories and read a lot of fanfic. And I didn't say a word about the TWO major bits that seriously surprised me (and really are spoilers).

I had, in my sleep-deprived mania, typed up a bullet point, slightly spolier post. With the proper cuts and warnings I might add. However, I am keeping it private through the end of the weekend. Just for those of you with no self control when it comes to spoiler warnings
