Harry Potter
Don't worry, no spoilers here. I wouldn't even think about it. We finished yesterday at about 10:30. The house was a diaster, Ana had been slightly neglected all day and she knew it. (She started trying to push the book out of my hand.) Dave and I hadn't even really eaten all day, so Dave went and got a pizza when we were done. Its funny, though, now that its all done and there is no more speculating and wondering and thinking and theorizing, I'm kinda sad to see it go. Its the same way I felt at the end of Anne of Green Gables (the first book) when I realized Anne had all grown up and she was so much different than the 11 year old girl I loved at the first, I grieved a little over the change. I'm going to miss it. Is that pathetic? Maybe so, but I'll start a new book or a new obsession and my little grief that its over will be over too. Plus, we still haven't seen the new movie, and they'll be two more so there still is a little more to see of Harry Potter.

If you find a new series that is just as intriguing, by all means please let me know. I too feel that grieving pain.
also....years down the road you'll get to start all over reading them to your kids.
i haven't even started the book yet.
I'm still reading Harry Potter. I do hate the feeling when you finish a series though. I usually cry because I've been living in the "book/dream world" for so long! I read the Brian Jacques series growing up--Redwall, etc. and was so sad when they ended. But I know now there are tons more of them he's written. I'm not sure if they're as good as the first few.
I loved the book. It ended so perfectly. I cried a little as it ended, too. I think you come to admire and love the characters in a great story because they personify certain values. I was really afraid of what the last book would be, but I wasn't disappointed at all. I loved it. The great thing is, you can always read it again.
