Weasley Countdown Clock

[Joe Bento]

It really is something to be approaching middle age (41, anyway) and 
get excited about the approaching book release.  

Yep, as a kid I looked forward to Christmas, birthdays, and July 
4th.  July 4th lost its excitement when fireworks were banned in my 
county (San Mateo, California) many years ago.  (I have lived in 
Utah for 5 years now, and yes, I buy fireworks!  I'm single, no 
kids - they are for me!) Though I still look forward to Christmas, 
it doesn't have quite the excitement it did as a child.  I'm 
somewhat indifferent about birthdays.

Now I have a countdown clock on my computer, I have both American 
and British language editions of the books, I'll soon have the 
American audio books, and (YES!!) I located a new-in-box countdown 
standee.

With all the seriousness of a career, and the very questionable 
state of our world today, it's realy fun to have Harry Potter to 
look forward to.  :-)
