the end. 

seven books. eight movies. countless spells.

harry, hermione & ron have grown before our eyes.

i was late to jump on board the harry potter train. 

i remember buying a book as a gift for my nephew back in 2004.

it was about a year after that when i started reading the books...after my family watched the first three movies.

i was hooked.

so was adam.

and, so were our kids.

i own all seven books. technically, i own eight. i have two copies of deathly hallows...one copy has thirty-three blank pages in it.
i've read each book more times than i can remember.

and...

i'm the only one in my family who knows how it all plays out.

it's kind of bittersweet, actually...
both the end of deathly hallows & the end of the harry potter era.

thank goodness we own the books & every dvd {thus far}...and the harry potter version of scene it, and the lego board game, and the wii game, and the nintendo ds game...yeah, it's a little out of control.

and, i can always count on abc family for a harry potter marathon at least once a month.
