My kids have also been waxing nostalgic about this. D21 and D16 say that the hours (honestly, probably hundreds) spent discussing and anticipating the release of the next book since they were very young was one of the greatest parts of their childhood. They said they feel a little sorry for kids who can just go read them all in a row. Both will be away from home for the opening of the final movie. We will all be going separately, then planning to attend again as a group when they are back home in mid-August. laugh
