1 successful teenage girl romance novel, nicely fluffed up with sparkles

2 somewhat less well-received sequels

30000 gallons of expectations of the next coming of J.K. Rowling

a google of rabid, ravenous, raving fans

1 very (DearAuthor) badly (PW) panned (LA Times) finale (Amazon review slapfest)
Updated Aug 9: there’s (EW) even (Washington Post) more (Guardian)

numerous and humorous commentaries, parodies, mockings, musicals, and link fests

much pawning and returning

EPIC mockery

1 writing campaign to Little, Brown

The Best Breaking Dawn review of them all

Update Aug 9:
1 organized protest

1 unexpected Rotten Tomatoes thread that morphs into a Breaking Dawn thread
