Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? Anyone read it?

[7rider]

Actually, you're wrong. I've never read a single one - cause I'm from Alabama and don't know how to read - why read when you can seen the movie?

Another non-Harry reader here. But I am a HP (and TdF) widow.
I tried slogging my way through the first book. No wait. Maybe it was the second. I have seen all of the movies - they are harmless, but the books I find impossible to read. Plus, they're all the same. Here's a summary of just about every book to date (last one excepted - but I have no reason to believe it won't be more of the same):
"Boy, that was some awful summer. My aunt and uncle are nasty" says Harry.
"Don't look now, Harry." says someone. "He-who-must not be named is after you - again." [Convenient how he always shows up during the school year, isn't it? - ed.]
The school administration either (a) looks the other way, or (b) actively enables star athlete's breaking the rules.
Bang! Crash! A miraculous spell conjured up just in the nick of time!
Yay!!! Harry! Boy wizard - you beat the baddies again!!!
The end. Have a great summer!

If you'd read the books you'd know that there's a good reason why the bad guy only shows up during the school year.

I was amazed that following the AWESOME battle scene with Valdemort (which we were watching in 3D IMAX - OMG - it was 15 minutes of awesome)...but anyway, SilverSon leans over and says:

"in the book, that scene was much longer...the did this...and this...and so on"

Geez...it told me he really did read it, but more so, he remembered it!

I didn't start until Goblet of FIre was released, but I am now a faithful fan. Each time a new one comes out I go back & start at the beginning- I haven't ordered the last one yet- it's in my cart at Amazon, BUT I did read about about the interview JK did Meredith on the today show. That's okay - I think it will be great. I plan to start the immersion process tonight & expect # 7 to be on my doorstep by the time I finish rereading 1-6!
My favorite part is that she as she aged the characters the story became more mature as well. It's really good stuff.

I must also add that when Psycycle path first handed me the Trek 5200 (Now known as old blue) to ride a bike for the first time in many many years he said- 'It's faster than Harry Potter's broom'.
