Me too!  Me too!  Some days I feel that GoF is my favorite HP book
because the characters are older, it's HUGE (more HP bang for the buck),
plot is becoming more complex and dark, etc.  Other days, I still love
PoA so very much, and like Kathy, I too *still* get chills when reading
that scene with his Patronus at the lake. They darn well better get that
done *right* in the movie -- if done correctly, I would imagine there
wouldn't be a dry eye in the place.

that Voldemort has the monopoly on 'badness' - but that he might not

be such a paragon of virtue.>>>

I know -- I said one shouldn't engage in "me too" posts very often but I
have to again say "Me too."
