I just wanted to say thanks to Penny for scheduling the chapter and
character discussions. I also wanted to add my 2 cents to the timing
question. I think we should continue to do them once per week, rather
than more often. After all, we have a lot of time to kill between now
and next July! Also, there is just so much traffic on this group that
it can be hard to keep up, so you need at least a week (I do anyway)
to reread the chapter, think about this weeks character, and decide
if you have anything to say. For example, it is Thursday already and
this is the first chance Ive had to think about this weeks character,
Percy Weasley. So I will now add some

I have never like Percy; he is just SO pompous and stuck-up. It is
striking how different he is from the rest of the Weasleys, who seem to
all (even to some extent Molly) be a really fun-loving bunch. The bit
about him being all self-important about his report on cauldron thickness
was just TOO funny. It will be very interesting to see what happens in the
future with Percy -- will he stick to the rules and do what Fudge tells
him too, or will he help the rest of his family fight Voldy? I think that
Percys principles and moral values will be challenged, possibly for the
first time in his life, in the next 3 books. Should be interesting.
