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...

I can't help but thinking that Charlie's box office has to have suffered from the coincidence. Half the audience is reading!

Could be, but you'd never have known it from the theatre audience I was in Sunday afternoon. The place was packed to the rafters. I ended up having to sit much closer to the screen then I normally ever would at a movie, because I really didn't expect such a crowd.

And the child beside me kept up a running commentary throughout the entire movie, while his father encouraged him. But I've ranted enough about theatre ettiquette in my journal already this year...
