You are not alone. I have not been so excited to have read a book/saga/piece of art since Return of the Jedi as a 12 year old.

This universe and story and characters have brought out such an emotional response of the last 4 books that I dare say I won't be this
excited again. Maybe that is the key to it.  Is it the end of childhood
responses that the Harry Potter story has brought out in
adult/child-like readers like myself.

I finished the book in a 6 hour session from midnight to 6am, leaving
me excited/drained/content.  Once I woke up I was happy but also empty
and almost upset by the feelings of ending a saga.

Be interesting to see when I throw on a HP movie again, especially
knowing what I now know.
