Harry Potter discussion

Warning! Spoilers ahead!

So, the review is posted here.

Spoiler-free comments from the blogosphere:

G-Bob:
Then again, this may be the point of the whole novel. It's really nothing more than a set-up to the final book. Why give us in two chapters what you can drag into a 600 page book that will sell millions? For the next three years we'll be debating minor plot points, and placing our book orders in advance. On the bright side, however, Ms. Rowling can now roll around in a brand new pile of money, since her old one must be smelling a bit rank by now.

Update:
Interesting commentary on the Actuarial Outpost forum, in this thread.
