When I was reading them I kept thinking, where is Harry? I am used to her starting with him and when she didn't I was confused. Well not confused but.....not sure what word I am looking for. I keep thinking is this like some ER episode where they show the final scene first and then work back? Does that make sense?

The first two harryless chapters are a little disorienting. But not without precedent.
I particularly enjoyed the sheer world-upside-downyness of Spinners End.

* am certain you are both talking about "Night Court" *
Hey, I'm not a fan or anything, having just read one and remaining unimpressed, but I might see all the movies someday.
Just ... carry on. ;D

I've finished it, and nobody asked what I thought about it.
What, I've got to tell you guys that I've finished it? Can't you just tell?
Anyway, there were some parts I liked, some parts I thought came out of nowhere, and some parts that were too linear for my taste.

Right, I suspect all Harry Potter conversations might best be continued either through individual PMs, or in a thread clearly marked as to the level of spoilers it may contain.
We float through some dangerous waters here.

Everybody seems cheery, that's terrific
Live Like You Are Dying
He said I was in my early forties with a lot of life before me when a moment came that stopped me on a dime and I spent most of the next days looking at the x-rays Talking bout the options and talking bout sweet time I asked him when it sank in that this might really be the real end how's it hit you when you get that kinda news man what'd you do
and he said I went sky diving I went Rocky Mountain climbing I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named FuManchu and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying and he said someday I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying.
He said I was finally the husband that most the time I wasn't and I became a friend a friend would like to have and all the sudden going fishin wasn't such an imposition and I went three times that year I lost my dad well I finally read the good book and I took a good long hard look at what I'd do if I could do it all again
and then I went sky diving I went Rocky Mountain climbing I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named FuManchu and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying and he said someday I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying.
Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about what'd you do with it what did you do with it what did I do with it what would I do with it'
Sky diving I went Rocky Mountain climbing I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named FuManchu and then I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I watched an eagle as it was flying and he said someday I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying. To live like you were dying To live like you were dying To live like you were dying To live like you were dying
