I don't want to live in a world where Ashley doesn't have the Complete Harry Potter read by Stephen Fry. The fact that he actually signed it makes me even more thrilled that you now have that thing in your life.

I can't wait to hear what you think of it. Especially the last book. Which is, for my money, the absolute best of the series and what makes it go from being a great story to being a powerful piece of modern literature. Welcome! Enjoy!
