Taking the plunge

Another newbie, checking in...

Been lurking about a week now.  When I read about this group in the Salon 
article (I am a Salon junkie) I was thrilled to find other adults who are 
Harry Potter fanatics!  I found HP last March.  I had knee surgery and a 
friend loaned me 1-3 to read during my recuperation.  I was enchanted and 
quickly read and reread them, returning them very reluctantly.  When GoF came 
out, I told myself I could wait and borrow it again.  Wrong!  The closer 
midnight approached the more I knew I couldn't wait another minute!  I jumped 
in my car and drove through a very vicious thunderstorm, only to be told, to 
my dismay, that since I hadn't reserved a copy, I couldn't get one.  ARRGH!!  
It took me FOUR LONG days to find an unclaimed copy, and I now have 1-3 as 
well, and believe me, I have learned my lesson!

I am so glad to have found this group.  Actually I can't believe I didn't 
find you myself.  I was introduced to the fun of lists during my Babylon 5 
obsession and still participate in a list devoted to the work of Alan Rickman 
(I usually despise movies made from books I love, but I must say I think he 
will make a delicious Snape!)

Andrea, looking forward to lots of fun here
