I have read some great stuff in the two weeks following the HP release. I was talking to Best Lady about it, and she thinks I should post them here. She is not going to go look at them yet, but some of the rest of you might.

Cheryl Klein is the US “Potterologist“, she is a continuity editor at Arthur A. Levine and was a fan of the books before she was America’s biggest Secret Keeper. She has written two major entries post release. Some Thoughts on “Deathly Hallows” and Back to Harry: News (including Incredible Famousness), Thoughts, and a Theory. She has also written a few other HP release posts with cute pictures from the Scholastic release party. Cheryl posted this link from The Onion.

Lovely JK Rowling was interviewed by Meredith Veira and there are transcripts online.

Stop your sobbing! More Potter to come

Bloomsbury.com did an online chat with JKR and the-leaky-cauldron.org posted the transcript. It is a little awkward to read, but it is great to get more information and to know that others have the same questions you do.

Several bloggers that I read wrote about HP & DH too. Kelly at Big A little a wrote in her goodreads review.

HipWriterMama wrote about different aspects of the series, interestingly she didn’t read the books until this summer.

MotherReader took an internet break to read all of the books (again) and then wrote a reflection on all the books and then a collection of links to what other people have written. I wonder if like me, she is still taking it all in.

Miss Erin is one of the youngest bloggers I read, but definitely one of the best. She posted great pictures from the release party she went to. Hey, Erin, where’s your review?

Bookshelves of Doom (who has the best t-shirts for sale) posted a spoiler free entry. I missed them when she posted, but now I am going to go back and read the Boston Globe alternate endings she linked to. She had previously linked to the NYT alternate endings, but you can only read them if you have an account.

Elizabeth at Fuse #8 posted a two part review. Her’s was one of the most detailed reviews I read.

My Potter obsession is not limited to the written word. I also love listening to my favorite podcast Pottercast hosted by Melissa, John, and Sue. I still haven’t listened to the follow up episodes, but I have had a great summer listening to their live casts around the country. Melissa has written three posts following the release: short, sweet, and funny.
