I hate Harry Potter.

[Zavulon]

Actually, I don't know anything about the books or movies, but my niece is staying with me while her parents are in Italy. She wanted that damned book, so I had to stand in line for it. I never got to sleep and have to work in a few hours. Meanwhile, she's in seventh heaven reading this book, my brother and sister-in-law are whooping it up in The Boot, and I'm going to be dragging ass in the office until tonight.

As such, I hate Harry Potter.

1. Take solace in having done a really cool thing for your niece.

It will be something that she will remember forever and speak fondly of to her friends many years from now.

Damn- I guess Harry Potter is magic.

2. I was at dinner last night, surrounded by Potterheads

...discussing various characters and plot developments and things, and I was the only one who did not know or care about any of it. Quite awkward!

3. I was just telling my son that there are other, better written children's books

but he wasn't having any of it! Personally Wrinkle in Time was a fave of mine when I was his age...

:rofl:

we are getting our copy later today.

:hi: pager! Nice to see you!
