Boy. Huh, Captain, when you swing for the fence you
really swing for the fence, don't you?

You know, I hate to bring this up four days before OOP
comes out, but this whole issue of the name
"Put-Outer" -- I always assumed that "Put-Outer"
*wasn't* the thing's actual *name*; that it was just
the way that the rather ignorant narrative voice of
the first chapter of PS/SS chose to refer to it. That
is, that it was just *dubbed* a "Put-Outer," and that
it isn't actually called a "Put-Outer."

But. Anyway.

I don't know if I've got a trifecta of predictions
myself. I -- I know I keep mentioning this, sorry --
am, however, crazy mad in love with the
Minister!Lucius theory. It would make him a really
*effective* bad guy, finally. Lucius isn't meant to be
sneaky and manipulative. He's meant to declare martial
law. But I don't know that I'm *predicting* it.

Oh, you poor little thing! (That hardly sounds right
somehow.) 

I'm (hopefully) going to friends' house on Friday; and
then we're all going to pick up our copies at the B&N;
and then I plan to go home and get it read by Saturday
night. Although maybe really late Saturday night. 900
pages.
