Only one other member of my family has read the HP books.  My 17 year 
old cousin.  We've had some chats about the books, but not recently.  
She has yet to finish OOP.  She says she wants to savor reading it so 
she's taking her sweet time getting through the book.  It's driving 
me batty.  I have to be so careful about what I say about the book 
around her.  This was quite difficult at our cousin's wedding a few 
weeks ago, but I somehow managed.
Fortunately, thanks to this group, a couple good friends, and a 
coworker, I do have some people to talk about Harry Potter with.  I 
especially like bouncing off some of the theories on this list to my 
best friend to see what he thinks.  My coworker also listens 
patiently to my rambling on about Harry Potter.  It makes me happy.

Steinbrenner and Derek Jeter and is thoroughly disgusted)
