A Flighty Temptress

Hello, everyone.

I'm free now, but for the majority of the weekend I've been catching up with Harry Potter.

It took me longer than most to get into this series back in the day, because I casually cast off the novels as children's books. Never mind the fact that if they'd come out while I was a kid, they're each exactly the kind of book that I'd read cover to cover as soon as I could. And so it was that sometime after Goblet of Fire came out, I finally got around to borrowing my niece's copies of the novels and started the series from the beginning. I was, of course, subsequently hooked.

So, I've had my head buried in Order Of the Phoenix for the second time and Half-Blood Prince for the first time. J.K. Rowling obviously does know a little magic, because I couldn't break myself away from the novels until they were complete. I'm sure I'm not alone in this phenomenon.

I won't spoil Half-Blood Prince for any of you, in case you want to read it, but if you do get around to finishing it (it's a lot shorter than the last two), I just want to share a "holy crap, I can't believe it" with the world. And in general, I sure am glad there are talented writers out there - where would the world be without them?
