The lost weekend! --I rearranged an appointment, skipped church, turned off my cell phone and TV and computer, and spent the day on my porch, taking breaks only for walking occasionally when I got too restless.
Harry totally immersed me and I was 99% pleased with the story. (I found the epilogue frustrating, because I wanted to know what the characters would be doing with their careers, although surely she'd hinted at auror, ministry, and law)
Kate finished before I did; she said she'd find herself looking up and being startled that she was in her living room.
I'm just listening to an interview with the author, and a child asked her what happened to Harry, Hermione, and Ron with their careers. She answered that Harry and Ron "sort of revolutionize" the auror department and that Hermione is involved with law and justice. She said the original epilogue was more detailed but didn't work.
She also said she "cried the hardest" when writing about the great explosion at Hogwarts in Book 7 when Harry was out in the forest.
