Losing that Lovin' Feeling for GOF

[Jen Reese]

Mired in the middle of reviewing GOF chapters, with 1800+ posts, and 
suddenly I don't think it's such a great book any more. ;)

Do you know how many details there are in that book when you dump it 
on a bunch of LOONs? Like for instance, one passing reference to 
Harry watching an eagle owl for a moment in "The Madness of Mr. 
Crouch" led to some very long dissection about who *exactly* that 
eagle owl belonged to, where he was flying, how he couldn't possibly 
be flying where someone else said because of the timing controversy, 
etc.

On a positive note I did run across a funny and insightful post by 
Debbie about DD's dual role as Headmaster & military leader, #40256, 
in which she refers to Trelawney as "...the Oracle at Delphi (or 
perhaps Mrs. Rochester, depending on how you look at it) locked up 
in the North Tower making predictions about the Dark Lord." LOL.

Anyway, just wanted to whinge for a moment, share the pain. I hope 
to get this finished by tomorrow as I'm on Chapter 29 at the moment 
*crossses fingers*.

Jen, noting it's officially summer as her 7 yr. old already declared 
himself bored on day 2 (after 6 hours playing with a friend) and 
asked yesterday, on day 4, when school was going to start. *sigh*
