Hello Grownups,
I just finished DH and before you begin to doubt my loyalty, know that
I am in an intensive 28 day professional seminar, so the only time I
could steal away for Harry happened in the middle of the night.
I not only liked the book (even the epilogue, though a bit surreal and
rosy next to the rest of the book), I found it deeply meaningful, even
healing. Here is my post about what the whole HP series meant to me,
in the context of my own growing up and losses in my life. These are
lessons that I find easiest to communicate with grownup language, but
truly I believe kids "get it" as well as we do, if not better.

Would love your comments, particularly to know if you took away any
life's lessons that were different from my own.
