Hi:

<<<I'm now on my fifth trip through the whole series (only my third
through GoF, though). This time I'm reading slowly and just soaking in
it. It's amazing to watch how JKR controls the plot, drops insanely funny
comments every three or four lines, describes things I've always known
(only I'd never realized I knew it). >>>

I get something new out of each re-read or each time I listen to the
audio versions yet again. I haven't listened to the radio in my car in
about 6 mths. I got my husband hooked on the audio versions -- even he
admits it keeps one from going insane in heavy traffic snarls. The audio
versions (Jim Dale) are great for those little details that your eyes
tend to skip right over, even when you think you're re-reading slowly.

<<<You know, we're priviledged to be alive while these books are being
written. If the series were already done, I'd have wolfed them down in 10
days. As it is, I'll be feasting for at least 3 more years. So don't
worry about the wait. Just keep re-reading, posting, second-guessing and
before you know it, JKR will show us exactly why it was worth holding
our breath an entire year!>>

Ooh, well-said Mike.
