Only this morning?  What TOOK you so long?  ;)
I have been angsting over Harry in particular for well over a year now 
-- at some point I realized he might actually *die* and I have such 
excellent reasons for him not to! <wonders if we should start up the 
"Order of Molly Weasley" whose memebers spend meetings wringing hands 
over possibility of deaths of any of the kids...>

Well, I actually started to wonder the same thing, but I just decided 
to go with it.  These books are really *good*, and I refuse to pull 
back.  Fiction doesn't have to be *merely* entertainment, does it?
