Chapter One Hundred Three: Harry Potter

So I was seized once more with a bout of the Harry Potter bug, which, like mononucleosis, never leaves your system once you've contracted it and can flare up at really any time.  So I've spent the last month re-reading these delightful books.  If you haven't read them, read them.  If you have read them, read them again.  They have humor, they have deep feeling, they have action and adventure and drama and magic--what more can I ask for, really?  (I can ask to live in Harry Potter's world, I suppose, but I don't think that will happen any time soon.)  Every time I finish re-reading the series, I'm struck anew with a feeling of emptiness that it's over, and I know that sooner or later, I'll have to return to them to get my fix.  And I notice new details every time!  Small details, usually, which is all the more impressive to me, that Rowling works so many little details in across so many pages.  Anyway, I am quite literally a fanatic when it comes to these books, and I highly recommend that everyone read them.
