Turkish Delight and Harry and Me and Saitaina

[Rachel Bray]

The other day I was in my local grocery store and I found 
they've made an entire aisle devoted to foreign foods 
(there's always been the Mexican/Chinese/Italian row...now 
it's got Australia, India and UK).  So imagine my joy when 
I saw they had Turkish Delight in the UK area.  Being a 
huge fan of Narnia, I bought it so I could finally see what 
the big deal was for Edmund.

Um....can I just say that I think Edmund was INSANE?!  
YUCK!!!!  Yuck yuck yuck!   I didn't care for it at all.  I 
think I'll just stick to jelly beans (not licorice, 
though...don't care for that either) and gummy bears.

But I'm glad I got to try it, anyway.

Loved the Biography last night.  It was so great to see her 
notes and such spread out all over the floor in different 
folders and notebooks.  That was hilarious.  And the idea 
that she has all those pages devoted just to Dementors was 
such a cool thing to think about.  I really enjoyed the 
interview.  I hope everyone got to see it.

Happy belated Birthday, Saitaina!  Sorry....meet me at the 
Leaky Cauldron sometime and I'll buy you a round!

The most heartbreaking thing about faithful moviegoing
is that awe, beauty and excitement, three of the things
we go to the movies for, are the very things we're 
cheated of the most. The great wonder of "The Lord of the
Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is that it bathes us 
in all three, to the point where we remember -- in a 
vague, pleasurably hallucinatory sensation from another 
lifetime -- why we go to the movies in the first place.
