couldn't, so picked up the book again). I slept a little in the 
morning. Now I can't seem to work, partly because I'm sleep 
deprived, and partly because, although I have

LOL.
Welcome to the obsessive world of Harry Potter fans. We are all in 
the same boat as you or we would not be here now. Have a couple of 
butterbeers and check back with us in the AM. At least you don't 
have a name like mine or some of the others here. So I guess you are 
not as obsessed as you think. You still have aways to go. Heck, 
there are people who have an actual tatoo of the dark mark on their 
arm. On a scale of 1 to 10, you are probably a 5 or so.
