Harry Potter

Normally I discuss my weight loss on Wednesdays. With the wedding over the weekend, I didn't lose any, so instead, I'd like to discuss Harry Potter. My cousin posted a list of her favorite characters on her blog today, and it got me thinking: Is Snape good or bad? Most optimists, like Curly and Linz, view him as good. I am a realist (not a pessimist...), so I think he's still bad. Only time will tell. Time, and nearly 1,000 pages...While I like to speculate on what will happen, I don't like to know ahead of time. It ruins the book for me. JK Rowling has a great statement about that on her site.

I haven't even ordered the book yet. I am still trying to decide which midnight party to join. For the last book, we were in Cape Cod on a family reunion. Curly and I left the kids with his sister (they all slept) and we drove around until we found a bookstore. There was a bookstore next to the hotel, but she hadn't ordered any of copies of the book. So, we drove around until we found a mall that had a Barnes and Noble in it. I think it was the only mall and the only Barnes and Noble on Cape Cod...This year, however, with 3 different parties to choose from, there will be no driving around at 11:45, desperately searching for the book. However, there may be a fight as to who gets to read it first.
