Every Flavour Beans and the Beacham Sourcebook (aka the vomit bean...)

[Scott]

No: HPFGUIDX 7104

I was Christmas Shopping with my mom and Grandmom today and that 
included a trip to Barnes and Noble. I was quickly banished to the 
Cafe though because they were buying pressies, and since all I asked 
for was books and HP stuff...

Anyway that was fine with me b/c I finally had time to peruse the 
fabled Beacham Sourcebook over a hot cup of tea.  I can now say, with 
the authority of 1/2 hour's reading, that it was horrid.  No real 
suprise but then what were you expecting!?! 

One thing I found rather amusing was that the rigid attitudes of the 
Mason's, the Dursely's dinner guests at the beggining of CoS, 
foreshadowed the petrification of Hogwarts students later in the 
narrative (or something to that effect).

Also about Every Flavour Beans- I also found them at BN today, and I 
think that EVERYONE should go get some. Why? Well b/c they were 
free.  My Grandmom was paying for something and got them and said 
that they came free as a promotional item with every HP purchase, yet 
as far as I know she made no such purchase. Hey maybe she bought me a 
HP present and just didn't want to let on. Hmmm...

I was impressed with the beans. I got a black pepper and a sardine 
and they were spot on, even if they were horrible. However I thought 
the Honey Graham Cracker was really good.
