A lot of people like the books--who cares? I could think of a million worse things to do than stand around in line for a book one night out of your life. It's not about getting it first, it's about avoiding spoilers, and the only way to do that is to basically get it the day it comes out, shut yourself in your room and read all day and all night. I didn't turn on my computer or my TV until I finished it. I also asked off from work so that I could read it in the first place.

First of all, whoever said the King's Cross chapter was supposed to be heaven? I thought it was a very interesting thing to do. Very indefinite and left open to interpretation. It kind of reminded me of the first time I saw someone get hypnotized. After the person came out of it, they described to me what it was like. The way the King's Cross chapter was set up sounded very similar to that person's story. Power of suggestion and all that...they were seeing these things because someone was suggesting that they existed. It's hard to explain, I just thought that chapter was kind of eerie and unexpected. I liked it a lot. Harry still should have died, but I digress...
