I've been re-reading the Harry Potter books, in preparation for the
Potterdammerung.
I'd actually forgotten how enjoyable these books are. They're not perfect, they're not great literature, but they are a sweet, fun adventure with just enough elements of darkness and wry humor to make them thoroughly charming. It's a nice reminder.
Apparently, the dog likes them, too. I walked into the bedroom yesterday and caught him licking Order of the Phoenix.
I was originally supposed to be up in Seattle on the evening of the 20th, but now it looks like I'm going to be staying home. My boyfriend refuses to read the books or see any of the movies until they've all been released, so I needed to find some like-minded types to go watch the Potter-pocalypse with me. Luckily, Michael (formerly
device55) and I are going to get tanked enjoy a cocktail or two on Friday evening, and then head over
Powell's to people watch. So, Portlanders on my friends list, I might see you there. :)
