back from DC

[Rachel Bray]

Well, I'm back.  DC was fabulous.  Actually saw the President from 
afar (he was getting into the helicopter).  It was wonderful to see 
everything I've only seen pictures of.  And I never found Josh 
Lyman, which was sad.  :-)  (I'm a HUGE West Wing fan)

Anyway, just a couple things before I go off to read the pages and 
pages of the posts I missed....

First off...just to get this off my chest, I heard that the rumor is 
going around that Christian Bale might be 
Lupin.....NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!  HE'S TOO YOUNG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, with that out of the way...

AI was beautiful, sad, wonderful and I haven't cried so hard since 
Shindler's List.  Therefore, I will not be seeing it again....but it was 
truly a wonderful movie.

The new Harry trailer has made me giggle quite a bit this past 
weekend.  The staircase scene looks awesome, it's GREAT to 
finally hear the kids' voices, Snape, Snape, Snape, Snape (sorry... 
got a bit carried away there), Fluffy....I'm REALLY happy with what 
I've seen so far.  But I guess there are some that will be upset 
about Harry's scar.

My mother read CoS while we were traveling and adored it.  She 
laughed so hard about the Howler and the pixies and most of 
Lockhart's scenes that she had to put the book down for a time to 
gather herself.  And then I could hear her say "Poor Neville" 
through out the book.  :-)

Well, I'm off to read the postings.  Hope all is going well with 
everyone.
