Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - J.K.Rowling

I was captured by the Harry Potter phenomenon a little after The Goblet of Fire came out (pre-dating this list), but I have been an avid fan ever since.

The speculation, waiting and anticipation has been a constant companion for such a long time that, now all's done, I wouldn't have been surprised if the departure of those feelings had left a void. It isn't so. That potential void has been filled with a satisfying elegant sufficiency. I felt, as I read the book, that I had in my hands, all the answers and that they could not have been revealed to me in a more enjoyable way. JKR has said that "Deathly Hallows' is my favourite, and that is the most wonderful way to finish the series.", and I couldn't agree more.

Voyage of the Raisonable from The Mauritius Command complete

The voyage of Commodore Jack Aubrey in command of the aging HMS Raisonable is mapped. This map presented considerable and frequent dilemas, but I hope wherever possible I have stayed true to the cannon. For these maps around the islands, I had to rely on a fair amount of guesswork when choosing the course, but hopefully my guesses are at least plausible. As always, I would welcome any comments or suggestions.
