3:00pm: My mother is driving me to Big Y so I can pick up my "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" book. I am excited, thrilled in fact, to be receiving the book with all the answers. To be receiving the sacred text. We were just coming from a Harry Potter party of our own that I hosted at my local library. I ate pumpkin cookies, drank Butterbeer, and played Harry Potter Scene It? on party mode. It was the greatest. All the while, though, I kept glancing through the table of contents in "Deathly Hallows" so I could have some clue as to what it is about. It wasn't providing many answers.

3:15pm: We are on the way from Big Y and I hold my very own "Deathly Hallows" copy in my hand. It looks very big, considering that I've been looking at photos of the cover online for the past few months. I open the "Deathly Hallows" book with a crack, ahh that new book smell. My happiness is there for a moment, but then it's suddenly gone. For instead of a short summary on the front flap of the book, it says the saddening words: "We now present the final installment of the Harry Potter series". Oh, the horror! However there is not much time to shield my eyes from it because I have to read now, so there isn't much time to write! Will it be everything I've hoped for? Will it provide all the answers? It better because with all the hype in the media it should be the greatest book in the world! (And it is, for every child in the world is bound to be reading it by now.)

3:30pm: Home at last. I am secluded in my room and my nose is glued to the inside of my newest Harry Potter book. I am dying to know what happens in the rest of the book and I keep looking ahead for just a peek...and then I go back to the page I am reading, telling myself it's the only way to find out what happens. Nobody is disturbing me; perhaps they got the message that I wanted to be left alone while reading.

5:00pm: Interruption! To my deepest dismay, I am trudging down the stairs going to eat dinner. As much as I would like to eat it in my room while continuing to read, alas I cannot! My parents keep telling me not to bring food up to my room because "it will attract ants". Ants? I really don't care about "ants" at this moment, I'll have you know! All I care about is the last Harry Potter book! At this moment it's sitting upstairs on my bed, awaiting the moment when I return. In the meantime I wolf down my dinner (without giving myself the hiccups) and I return to my isolated sanctuary where I can continue reading.
