I have defeated Harry Potter: by finishing The Deathly Hollows...Finally
After much procrastination I finally made it to that place in a Harry Potter novel where you just can't put it down for very long. I have now read every book in the series and I was very pleased. I felt a similar sense of completion after Amber & I finished a back to back Lord of the Rings: Extended Version marathon back in '06. It took me about a year longer than most, but I had a hard time excepting that it would be over once I finished, and wanted to hold on to that feeling for as long as I could. As a mostly grown man I should probably not be so attached to these characters that it's hard to finish a book, but alas I could not help it.
