Stayed Up Until 5 A.M…
… reading the last Harry Potter.

It was worth it. It’s an extremely satisfying ending. She gives you everything you want, ties everything together, and makes you feel like you’re leaving the characters in a good place.
It’s a remarkable accomplishment, really–especially considering the high expectations for the end of the series. Imagine having the whole world speculating about your book like that. It would be hard to get all those voices out of your head. Many writers would have buckled under the pressure.
I think these books will hold up over time. They are good.
The ending didn’t make me cry though.
