Small things that make a nice day

[olivierfouquet2000]

Hi all,

I just wanted to share some of my good mood.

First, today is the day Harry Potter is coming out in french, so I mused in book stores 
just for the pleasure of seeing dozens of people (of all ages, which was a good news 
to me as HP is still very much associated with child literature here in France) taking up 
their copies, smiling blissfully at it. I also saw someone read the entire book right 
there in the book store. 

By the way, French OoP has a particularly nice cover, with an excellent painting of the 
trio : Hermione is a perfect mixture of cleverness and determination, Ron is nice and 
Harry is a real handsome young man (no surprise Cho likes him). I don't know who 
has done this, but I think he is french as I have never seen these pictures before 
anywhere. 

And I also saw Love Actually (yes, it is only going out now in France) and had some 
extra fun picturing Alan Rickman as Snape at the most awkward moments. Plus there 
was an unexpected reference to Harry.

Regards,

Olivier
