kmrhapsody writes: I was so annoyed with HBP that I literally threw 
it onto the floor after reading the final chapter. On subsequent re-
reads it grew on me. I am still not completely enthralled with the 
final product, but my appreciation for the genius that JKR has 
exemplified throughout the series remains strong. Like many others, 
PS3 or xbox games were the first thing that popped into my head with 
the introduction of horcruxes. I initally believed that it was a 
deliberate choice to play into the portability of turning the book 
into a game. Might still be...

Now...I treat the horcruxes like the ship wars...I really don't care 
to mull over them too much anymore. Don't get me wrong, speculation 
can be fun, but I think that too many of my "theories" (proven or 
disproven) may have gotten in the way of my enjoyment of the last 
book. 

kmrhapsody - Who is ready to see where the tide takes all of us. 
(Hopefully it is somewhere warm and has margaritas on the menu... 
because it got ridiculously cold and rainy all of a sudden here in 
the midwest. Boooo.)
