Bit of Ivory

Everyone should go over to MSN and watch the webcast of JKR in Royal Albert Hall. Not only is her reading very interesting, she gives some great answers in the interview. Very, very interesting comments on Draco, on Snape, on Lupin. And she explains the thestrals. Some people think it’s a weak explanation, why Harry […]

But getting better. Have almost completely re-read OotP and am surprised at how much H/G interaction there is. And the R/H is there, too. I’m also seeing that the humor is there, but that the ending tends to make you forget. There are all sorts of laugh-out-loud moments, and I’m glad to see that they’re […]

How could it be anything else? I’m still reeling. But first, Happy Birthday to Lisa and Laura! 20 years old– now in your troublesome tweens. Hooray! I called it, didn’t I? I’m so glad someone else had my insight. And now, some thoughts on shipping in OotP.

I just finished OotP. I’m going to have to take a while to digest it, though, before I can write anything coherent (and the fact that I’ve been up all night doesn’t help either). I love fanfic, but. . .JKR is brilliant. Nothing is better than canon. Nothing.

After I take my shower and don my Hogwarts T-shirt and Ravenclaw necklace (I’ll put on my Ravenclaw uniform closer to The Time), I’m going to make Harry Potter cookies. While listening to the CoS soundtrax. I’m sitting here looking at my HP calendar (which today has Harry and Ron trying to get through the […]

Can’t breathe. Can’t. Breathe. Went to London Market and bought Chocolate Frogs, Acid Pops, Fizzing Whizbees, and Dragon’s Eggs; as well as Cadbury Flake, Galaxy Ripple, Nestle Smarties, and disgestive biscuits. Oh, and an Orangina. So I’m all set. Am also planning on making some HP sugar cookies with my HP cookie cutters to bring […]

Well, that was interesting. The producer, cameraman and sound engineer were here for about 2 hours, and took 30 minutes of footage. We’re not the only family being profiled, so all in all, we’ll probably end up being on TV for all of 15 seconds. Oh, well. It was fun. They took a shot of […]

I was going to put this off until Wednesday, but I just can’t help myself. I’m going to be on the Today show. Yes, *that* Today show. My whole family is, actually. Do any of you remember seeing this or this on the Leaky Cauldron? Well, I did, and sent in an e-mail. On Thursday, […]
