Harry Potter

So I finally laid Harry Potter to rest tonight, and what an experience it's been. Jo Rowling has managed to climb on top of the shoulders of Gilgamesh, Frodo, Luke, and Indiana- and to get millions of children excited about reading thousands
of pages worth of books in the process.

One interesting thing to note: while digitized photographs of each and every page of the book were leaked online prior to its publication, many of the "spoilers" people were throwing around turned out not to be true. In the end, the only way to know what really happened was to have read the whole book (scanned version or real version).
