Ok, here's how to cope: 1. open a bottle of wine (I assume you're of age!)... you may not 
need a glass, but then I suggest you have plenty of nourishment around as well 2.  kick 
everyone else out of the house... 3.  reread all 6 books SLOWLY, enjoying every nuance of 
phrasing JKR bestows her reader with... 4.  read WAY WAY WAY too much into every little 
thing, from unknown characters being sorted to where in the world Sirius' motorbike is... 
5. cry, laugh, cry, get on hp for grownups, etc. ... 6. cry again knowing the end is near, but 
count your blessings that YOU are around at this magical time in history, one that won't be 
repeated.  This is what I do when I think, my "little" 7-year-old will never REALLY know 
what went through, waiting for each portion of the masterpiece to be published... he can 
read them straight through when he's old enough... vv. bittersweet, I know, but it is pretty 
cool that we're living through this literary phenomenon ... Point # 6 also applies to the 
films, because the future fans will never have the joy, either, of sitting/standing in line for 
hours till midnight and seeing the film on a HUGE screen with other true fans... I 
remember seeing #4 at midnight and then a few days later with my sister with the 
"normal" people... the midnight showing was MUCH better because the audience was so 
much more into it.

So maybe this was slightly off-topic for the film group, but I hope Charlotte's ok, anyway.  
Oh, and unlike Muggle therapists who charge $200 an hour, this session's on me.  But if 
you want to send me some Chocolate Frogs or a butterbeer in thanks, I'm not opposed.  :)
