'ello, Blake! Marty here of Marty and sen fame :)

I'm going through a read-through myself. I took up the challenge of reading a chapter a day up until the release of the last book. Even started up this martypotter LJ thing to keep it all neat and seperate.

I reckon JKR will be saved by Harry in the end... wait... that's like something else... er...

It's interesting reading back over those early books and seeing just how much Rowling has grown, and how much groundwork she laid. Of course, there is always the interpretation that once the series took off, she went back and said "oh, yeah, the Centaurs made that comment about the innocent dying first ... what can I do with that? And what about Snape seeming like he can read minds?"

That's what the skeptics would say, because there are readers out there who just can't believe that Rowling could have constructed her world as meticulously as Tolkein constructed his.

I read the books for the first time after #4 came out, so I was even a later convert than you!
