I'm So Excited about the new Harry Potter Movie. And the BOOK! Oh my holy cow. I plan to finish book 6 this week (easily done, only a hundred pages or so to go) and then go back and re-read book 5 in order to be able to sufficiently anticipate and comprehend the movie.
Hehe, Dr. P's class has augmented everything I love about the HP series. Do you know how many books have been written about Harry and Hogwarts and some of the stupid arguments about how it's not good for kids, blah, blah? But then there are of course the really amazing parts of Rowling's series. And MOST of all, Harry is a picture perfect example of a Gothic Hero in a novel of the Cult of Childhood. (Very interesting subject.) And then there are the people who put meaning behind everything Rowling writes, like they incorporate spiritual truths. I never felt so philosophically perplexed as during many of the discussions in Dr. P's class. It's so funny to me, but I love it at the same time.
Ok, enough Harry P. worship. And actually I could never be only a HP fan, because Ron and Hermione are what make Harry a balanced heroine. They are his synergy (lol). I crave to read!
