Hi from me too, Karen!  Don't leave, stick around!

I've taken the tack that, if we're still here after the last book has 
been published, we like the series overall.  I have my favorite moments 
from DH, to be mentioned below.  Since I'm assuming that everyone here 
likes and enjoys the books even after The End, I don't mind 
criticisms.  They come from people who care.

My youngest is currently reading DH.  Slowly.  She has a social life.  
*sigh*  But, the scene I thought was really great was in the chapter 
about the Doe Patronus.

Ron tries to destroy the Locket with Gryffindor's sword, which he 
valliantly won from the frozen pond.  A giant Harry and a giant 
Hermione erupt from the halves of the locket and start trying to feed 
Ron's insecurities.  Ron's initial stunned reaction, and his overcoming 
his feelings about these fabrications, was, to me, a great success.
