The Pötterdammerüng (no spoilers)
When I woke up this morning, the sun was shining, birds were chirping.
I guess all that stuff last night about planes crashing and buildings collapsing was just a dream...
My copy of the last Harry Potter book will arrive in a couple of days. I've got other stuff to read, I didn't feel like paying for express shipping, and it's not going to make a great deal of difference in terms of when I'll finish reading the book or the chance of my being exposed to spoilers before I do. If I'd thought about the matter a bit more before ordering it, I might have remembered that Loblaws stores were carrying the previous book at 50% off cover price; from a bit of telephone work I did yesterday, it sounds like they're doing the same for this one. [Edit: Yes, the Loblaws price is $22.98, copies in the store. Amazon price $22.50, delivered to my home in a couple of days. Oh, well.]
I did have an odd thought this morning: I wonder if Dumbledore's image is limited to wandering around between his special portrait paintings? Or can he get into any of his pictures? Is every Slytherin chocolate-frog card collector a potential security risk for the bad guys? Litter from old newspapers?
I suppose I'll find out soon.
