Sharon:
You are probably right. I guess it's hard for me to let go! LOL Whenever I finish
reading a HP book I always wonder what else there is to read that is as good.
Now that the series is finished, what could I possibly read that will be up to the
same standard??? I have read some other books over the years, but most of
them I never get past the first couple of chapters. Those that I do make it
through to the end, are usually pretty good, but not exceptional. Strange but I
have tried other books in the fantasy genre and find them awfully tedious.
Still I haven't given up hope for more in this vein from JKR -- there are plenty of
precedents where authors spend a whole life writing a particular series -- James
Bond (can't remember the writer), agatha Christie, many other sleuth writers.
