Harry.

I read the first three Harry Potter books about ten years ago when they very first came out.  I really liked them, but as we all know I am easily distracted and didn't really wait around to see what happened next.  Well, then everyone got super hyped up about the Harry Potter books and I decided that I didn't want to get involved in the phenomenon.  Too bad.

Recently I decided, however, that I wanted to catch up on what I'd been missing.  Natalie really likes the books and I thought it would be fun to be able to talk about them/watch the movies with her, so I decided to go ahead and re-read the first three and then read the last four for the first time.  So, I sauntered through the first three--thoroughly enjoying them--and then ended up finishing the last four at a steadily increasing pace.  

I just finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows yesterday!  I could not ask for a better ending to the series.  I highly recommend that anyone who has been as stubborn as I have get over their pride and read these books!  They are some of my favorites of all time, and, actually really well written (sorry Twitlight).
