The Summer of Harry
My wife and I love Harry Potter. We already have our tickets for the midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix which comes out this week. We have recently listened to the audio versions of books five and six. And we have had the seventh (and final) book pre-ordered for over six months.
For those who are like us, you will want to check out the current issue of Books & Culture, where there is a column by my former Wheaton professor Alan Jacobs in which he discusses his thoughts on the next Harry Potter book. It is clear from this column that he has read these books closely, and he offers some predictions about book seven that seem quite probable. If you are a fan of the HP series (as you should be!), then you should check this out.
Update #1: The NY Times has asked four writers and one artist to draft their own endings to the final Harry Potter book. Check it out here.
Update #2: Worst review of any film ever (at least of the reviews I have read), that just happens to be about the new HP film. Correction: All of the reviews by this guy (Mark Ramsey) are just trash. Read them at your own risk.

Personally, I find these books more delightfully addictive than any other novels -- when a new Harry Potter book arrives, I willingly sacrifice sleep and all other responsibilities in order to keep on reading....
