July found me surrounded by family, sharing my brother's cabin near a Lake in Northern Michigan. The fun of the trip was all of us with our own copy of the last Harry Potter book. I can't read without comment and the conversation went like this, "Oh no!" "Where are you now?" "Can't say too much but they're were just in the graveyard." "Oh yea that was a great part, wait until you see what is next." Bless JK Rowling for giving us so much fun.After my niece and I were about 2/3rds through we took my brother to see the movie of the earlier book (the rest of us had already seen it). Of course the new news, delivered in book 7 completely changed our understanding of the characters in the movie and the explanation of what was happening, causing us to closet ourselves and talk it through after we got home.
Fabulous times indeed. If my life ever lets up or I am on an extended holidy when I have unlimited weight available in luggage (like on a container ship cruise) I want to reread them all - or at least 4, 5, 6, and 7.
Books are our good friends aren't they? And they don't make judgements or let us down.
all the best,
Alana
