Finished it!

Just got done with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Damn, that woman can write! She sure knows how to handle an intricate, complicated storyline, with dozens of unique, interacting characters and tons of minor details that turn out to be major plot points several books down the line.

When the time comes to remake a certain six-episode science-fiction epic, I nominate J.K. Rowling to do a rewrite that will do justice to the story and the characters.
