As the world knows, the titan known as Harry Potter enters its final stages of film this week. Many people around the world, including me, have grown up reading Harry and thus feel like a part of their childhood is ending. In honor of how much time (13 years), books (7), movies (8) went into this colossus of publishing, here are the best links about Harry that I've come across lately.

In a personal note, over at Books Ahoy!, I won the ENTIRE Iron Fey series, one I've wanted to read for aaages.
I'm currently working on my review for Heartless by Gail Carriger. I'm aiming to post it later today! Enjoy your Wednesday everyone :)
Looks like someone has a lot of books to read! Enjoy! I don't watch the Potter movies - but all my friends do and all my nieces and nephews. I LOVE the books though!
