Uh-oh!  He's defective?  You'd better send him back then...  demand a
refund.  Or at least ask that they replace the HP circuit...  <g>

(Apologies.  Translating panegyric about Cicero (into Latin!) makes me
silly.)

More seriously though, I wasn't much into the books until after GoF; I
had read them all, but my reaction was more a kind of, "Ehn, that was
nice," than any real enthusiasm for them.  Should I admit something
awful?  The first few books made so little impression on me (I think I
read each of them in about an hour) that when I finally did feel
enthused after GoF I remembered almost nothing about the characters and
plots from the first three -- I do remember saying, back in August, to
someone, "Lupin?  Who was that?"  *hangs head in shame before bursting
into mostly unrepentant laughter* I also managed to forget who Quirrell
and Lockhart were... maybe I just had a block against DADA teachers? :)
