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've been wondering about this for a few days: that list says that Book 4 is a Victorian novel, but I'm confused as to how it could be seen as such. This is probably because I don't read enough Victorian novels, but there it is. Do you feel like enlightening me of my ignorance? Please?
