handy summaries of Harry Potter 1-6

i'm not very excited about Deathly Hallows. i haven't reserved a copy. i didn't reserve one for the last book either. i'm browsing back through Half-Blood Prince as a refresher, and i'm probably going to walk down to the nearby midnight sale and pick up a copy, but i'm feeling like it's paying bills or renewing a library book or something. like reading HP7 on the first weekend is my geeky duty, not my pleasure.

right now, i'm admiring Rowling's plotting craft, but i don't love Harry anymore, and Hermione and Ron aren't enough of a presence. i've reread the bad thing, and it does still elicit tears. now i'm reviewing all of the penseive bits. i'm trying to whip up some excitement in the face of ridiculous hype.

i really want to believe in a satisfyingly orgasmic conclusion, but wish we could skip over this cultural moment and get on to Bad Monkeys and then fast forward to A Dance With Dragons.
