Harry Potter : finished him

(tags book, fantasy, English)

Looks like I snapped up that previous shot too soon. I blazed through the final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. J.K. Rowling gave me an series finale that I could anticipate, but not in the way I could ever imagine. I am satisfied and contented with it.

I couldn't find the first 3 books for this shot, unfortunately.

I did have some nagging questions, and I tried searching this book for it. I realized I did not remember all of the Harry Potter lore. Fortunately we live during the Internet era, so I was able to find answers. (spoiler link 1, 2) And I agree with this review from Jenny Sawyer of the Christian Science Monitor (spoiler link 3). I didn't finish the series because of Harry Potter the character. Rowling left some bite-sized take-away messages, but I suspect I will forget them before the week is over.

Now I don't have an immediate urge to read the series again, I want to toss these books away. The next time I encounter Harry Potter will probably be on the big screen.

Oh and give me some sci-fi to counter all the fantasy I have read.
