This Is It—I've Begun Reading the Harry Potter Saga in It's Entirety

I prepare for each new Harry Potter book by reading all of the preceding books in order. In the past I've been able to zip through the series, but now that I have two children, I don't have as much time to read as I used to. So I've gotten an early start preparing for the final Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Yesterday, as I read the opening pages of The Sorcerer's Stone, I realized that, this time, I wouldn't be finished until I read the final page of the seventh book. The very thought gives me chills.
