I'm still recovering from a 2.5 week trip to the UK, where I read DH in the original British on the first read but have posted some thoughts on the epilogue to my LJ. I'll eventually collect my thoughts about DH as a whole into a LJ post I imagine, though another favorite series has a new release coming out on Tuesday -- yikes!<BR/><BR/>I was really interested to see that your son has been spoiled for some of the key happenings in the series. When I came back to the hotel room in London after finishing the book with friends, my husband asked for spoilers, knowing he wouldn't get to read the book for himself for a good long time (he's a slow reader in any case). After I had doled out substantial spoilers, I suddenly realized with great disappointment that my 6 year old daughter was drinking it all in. Now she'll never wonder whether Harry lives or dies. Now she'll never wonder whether Harry will get together with Hermione or Ginny or Luna. Now she'll never wonder where Snape's loyalties lie. I'm sad about that. If I had been less sleep-deprived and less high from the reading straight-through of such a fabulous book, I would have thought that decision through more and waited to tell him the spoilers after she was out of hearing. Oh well. Maybe she'll forget some of what she heard, though I doubt she'll forget that Harry lives in the end. :)genealogygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17168682431897164139noreply@blogger.com
