There are so many things going through my head right now...

Snape is still right on the border... You can't quite decide that he's evil. Alan Rickman is laughing with cruel delight somewhere...

There are a lot of young actors in Britain reading this and thinking, "I've got to kiss who?"

There's a great comment here which points out that the books are in identifiable genres... Now I have to go read again.

Fairy tale

Horror/mystery

Adventure

Victorian novel

Tragedy

Bildungsroman

Quest


Oddly enough, after looking at the deluxe cover on Scholastic the other day, I guessed that Dumbledore and Harry would be traveling in a memory together. And I'd guessed a while ago that the battered Potions book on the cover of ther British adult version was Snape's. (It doesn't matter when the book was printed, Harry you dolt! Snape probably had it at second or third hand.) So I'm feeling quite smug tonight. Exhausted, but smug...


More tomorrow...

Oh, he must be a happy happy camper! How perfect for him...

Pity the kids, though. They're still a bit young to appreciate the joys of, *ahem* snogging. It must be wierd reading the books knowing you'll have to *do* all of this in a couple of years.

Strange indeed. And there must be a scriptwriter out there going "HELPME!"

*grin*
