Can you tell what Max and Ted have been doing for the last couple of days??? Actually, the kids and I went swimming with friends yesterday and Ted worked in the ER, so both of them had to take their noses out of the books and neither could finish the final "Harry Potter" just yet, though through no lack of trying. (What fast readers and what a great book, apparently! I'll get my chance later, after I'm done re-reading #6.)
Ted took all three kids to a Harry Potter book release party at the Jackson Street Roundhouse (a great train spot in St. Paul) Friday night. The party started at 9 3/4, and they did fun stuff like ride the Hogwarts Express (not too "express" as it went about 3 miles per hour), get sorted into houses (Gryffindor for Ben and Ellie, and Ravenclaw for Max), and eat chocolate frogs & Bertie Botts' Every Flavour Beans, until midnight, when the load of books came steaming in on a freight car into the roundhouse. Fun was had by all, I hear. :-)

The book release party sounds like it was great fun. I too am patiently waiting to read the newest - and final - installment. Love the bit about the escapees!
