Valky:
I'd say 8ish add about an extra half for being able to ponder casually
about Snape's loyalties in the midst of a riot. <g>

Not a one took more than a day to read twice. I can be voracious, me ;D

I was avowed never to be this attached to an internet community, once....

No comment :|

Valky:
Only the books myself, but I have started recieving notices from my
relatives that they have Harry Potter marked down next to my name on
their christmas lists. I don't know why they didn't so it sooner
though, perhaps they hoped the madness would pass. <bg>

Valky:
I would choose to be Tonks, metamorphmaguses seem to have it all. But
if it was a person like me I'd probably be Remus.

Valky:
Not sure, but it would be nice to bottle it wouldn't it? <g> It could
be the compelling characters, the plot intricacies - might be the
wonderfully entreating Potterverse so well created that it seems
alive... or maybe it's the belly-laughs. It's probably the laughs. :)

Valky:
No I haven't, but I lined up early for OOtP and HBP feeling a bit
underdressed.

an evergrowing list.. I think I *am* keeping up with the most part of
it, I do love the acronyms.

"Plank in your eye, dear?" Generally.

I think I have already outdone myself there on the main list. I
generally have too much to say, I find, so I reckon you might be
grateful if I spare you.
