Last night, around 11:00, Hannah and I completed reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I won’t give away any “spoilers” here (not that it would matter to anyone reading this). I’m mostly writing this because I’m pleased with my own cleverness in coming up with what would make a good cartoon (say, in the New Yorker) this week in our post-smoking-or-non era: a restaurant divided into “Finished Harry Potter” and “Not Finished Harry Potter” sections. I mean, I know I didn’t want people discussing it while I was around until I’d gotten through it (which took all of four days past the release date).
Finishing the book (which we were reading aloud), along with a nice Japanese dinner, is how Hannah and I celebrated our eleventh mensiversary, by the way.
Addendum: I should clarify that it took about 18 hours of reading time, because we were reading aloud. We certainly could have finished on Sunday or Monday, having purchased the book Saturday around noon, but with church and extra social events, Tuesday evening became a nice time to finish it up.
What HP events did people attend?
