Evil Geniuses in a Nutshell

NOTE TO MY READERS: THIS IS A (RELATIVELY) SPOILER FREE POST.

So, although I'm a day late, I did indeed spend five hours-ish of tonight reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the final book in what has been one of the most amazing book series I've ever read (and that includes the Vampire Chronicles). My judgment? Excellent. There were moments of The Half Blood Prince I didn't like - but this book puts a good end to the series, gives it closure and explains some of the loose ends I was wondering about. I'm glad to see my predictions about Severus Snape played out roughly along the lines I suggested

[SPOILER WARNING]

lets just say, if you were rooting for Snape as the bad guy... you're going to be moderately disappointed. I think its touching and Snape's story is really developed here.

[END SPOILER]

So go out and buy it. Now. Its worth reading. If you haven't read the other six books, now is a good time to start - I think I'm going to start rereading the entire series again shortly, just to see how things jive together and pick up some plot I missed.

I am... just wowed. And definately consider it my time for sleep. TTYL!
