Yes I read Harry Potter too
Similar to what Mitch Denny mentioned in his post, I bought a copy of the latest Harry Potter book on Saturday and finished reading it last night. It was a case of deja vu reading Mitch's post.
I enjoyed the book. I think it's a tribute to J K Rowling that I can still be bothered to do so (and so quickly) after six volumes. The story really sets the situation for the next book but is a good read on its own. It certainly fills in a lot of blanks left by earlier volumes.
Don't let anyone tell you what happens at the end if you intend reading it though. Recommended!
