- Well, after a generally upbeat August — in terms of frequency of postings — you may have noticed an absence over the past few days. The reason can be explained in two words: Harry Potter. I picked up the Deathly Hallows some time ago and got around to reading it over the past few days. I’ve found that the Harry Potter series had lost a bit of steam over the past few books (I thought it peaked at around book 4), but I have to say that Book 7 is really the best out of them all. Its tighter, its more action packed (the movie’s going to be awesome), adds some some new and interesting mythology to the series, and it really tries to tie up every loose end — and involve every character mentioned — during the entire series. There was some incredible hype leading up to the sale of this book. While its not perfect by any means, (some of the explanations near the end are a bit muddled) I’d have to say that the hype is really warranted and then some. And now? Back to blogging. ;) (2) # // 8.21.07 @ 19:12
