Amanda, you and all those experts on the list are
still teaching me! My boys and I are now read GoF, the
British version, and we are still learning! We went
through all the American versions and love the British
versions more! But reading all the posts and different
POV, helped us understand more and love what this
group has done! So we here in Revere give a big toast
to you and all those older folk a well derserved CHEER
and of course plenty of Butterbeer to go around and
around!:D 

Schnoogles to you all,

Wanda and Her Almost Back to Humorous Muggles
