Krissa finished Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince a good day before I did. When I finished the book she was there with a face to match the emotional response of the ending. I didn't enjoy that at all because I could read how she felt and had done for 24 hours.
I finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows about two hours ago.
Krissa and Biscuit have about a hundred and fifty pages each to go, and Krissa is reacting so emotionally to every character surfacing, words said between people she's crying and laughing...Biscuit is shouting when things happen...
I know how involving it is so I've cooked for both of them and followed where they are.
But I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS.
And I am finding this very hard to deal with. The two of them are so in the moment, so caught up in everything, and I'm not a good enough actor to conceal everything...but hopefully good enough that my snapping 'KEEP READING!' every time they stop to gasp or talk happily or sadly is covering up any inside knowledge.
I am enjoying the moments in the book as they pass more this time with the two of them, but...KNOWING...worrying...anticipating how they'll react...
It's bloody torture.
I spent today reading it while my girlfriend was out of town. She'll be back tomorrow, when she'll start reading it. She'll ask me 50 questions an hour that she won't want answered, and I'll have to keep stone-faced. Bloody torture will be the perfect description.
i'm trying not to talk to anyone who hasn't finished it at the moment, otherwise i know i will GIVE IT AWAY!!!
you know you could have called me..
