Uh, Eloise, would you like to trade message blocks with me?

You know, 4.5 posts a day sounds like a lot, but it's not, really.  
I mean, you post once every 6 hours or so, and there you go.  :-D

Oh, I can already tell OoP will be *way* too long.  Allow me to 
demonstrate:

"The hottest day of the summer [so far] was drawing to a close 
and a drowsy silence lay over the large, square houses of Privet 
Drive 
 The only person left outside was a teenage boy who was 
lying flat on his back in a flowerbed outside number four."

See, I'd delete "so far" from this passage, as it is redundant.  
Obviously, we can't know how hot the remaining days will be, so it 
is evident that the day is the hottest so far.  I mean, *Duh!*

That JKR is such a bag of wind, don't you think?  :-D

Cindy -- who hopes OoP will get off to a better start than GoF did
