So...about Harry Potter. I couldn't go to the Midnight Wizard Ball because I had to work really early the next morning, so I resolved that I would wait to get the book on Tuesday, when, in Ben's absence, I could read happily without feeling guilty for being so single-minded. I carefully avoided going to the bookstore, but then we were going to go out to a movie Sunday night and, of course, went to Target to buy snacks to smuggle into the movie theater. Target had Harry Potter, for the discounted price, sitting RIGHT THERE. Tempting me. So I bought it (and now own an extra copy that will arrive here tomorrow via Amazon...anyone need another copy?) and spent Sunday from 8pm until Monday at 9pm reading (excepting a few hours for sleeping, working, and tutoring). Completely ignored Ben for 24 hours, even though I'd tried so....hard...not...to.
In other news, Ben and I are moving to Silver Lake next Wednesday. Lilly is going to drive out to help us move. My home phone number won't work anymore, but my cell will. Also, I am being kicked off of St. John's email, so I had to get a hotmail account. Gmail wouldn't give me an address even resembling my name. New address: annemariekessler@hotmail.com

And you know...I was very pleased with the way that Harry's sacrifice was handled. I really kind of hoped that he was going to die, because it seemed like the only way to guarantee that Voldemort would die...but I think that in the end, the explanation that a part of Harry died, the Horcrux part, was pretty convincing.
Weird when Mrs. Weasley screamed at Bellatrix Lestrange, and the word BITCH was in capital letters. I bet you enjoyed that part, didn't you Jaime? So, anyway, post away about HP. I am completely satisfied by the ending (although it was a little lacking in imagination that they all end up in neat little pairs-so happy Neville didn't die by the way). And I kind of thought that Harry would be defense against the dark arts teacher. I feel free.

The BITCH line did make me laugh out loud. What are you saying? Does this make me a bad person? I had a hard time swallowing the fact that Molly Weasley was able to out-duel Bellatrix Lestrange though.
I shall post all my infinitely important Deathly Hallows thoughts soon. I'm just waiting on my friend Lauren to finish.
Did you deprivatize???
Deprivatize?
I agree that I thought the ending was well-handled. I almost even get the impression that J K was influenced by the ending of Life of Pi, which was just fantastic!
Love you, Anne Marie!
