Hi again --

I'm quite talkative today!

An *anti-Harry* thread?  How can that be?  I know there are people who 
maybe favor some of the other characters, but how can anyone dislike 
Harry?  Impossible.  Heresy, even!  :--)

Jenny -- I am all in favor of talking more about Harry.  As you know 
from our recent talks on the Mods list, I count Harry as just slightly 
less my favorite than Hermione if that phrasing makes any sense at all.

I nominate Ebony or Jenny to come up with a good acronym for us Harry fans!

Trina started Percy Fans United, but I *like* P.I.N.E.  I'll put up 2 
sickles to join that one.  What do you say Trina, should we assimilate 
Percy Fans United into P.I.N.E.?

Perhaps we should elaborate on S.C.H.A.B.B. since I only introduced it 
on the Mods list but hadn't described over here on the Main List yet. 
S.C.H.A.B.B. was formed in response to C.R.A.B. (Cut Ron a Break), 
although I'm told on the Mods list that we can expect there to be 
overlap between the S.C.H.A.B.B. & C.R.A.B. groups.  :--)

Okay, so what is SCHABB, you ask?  SCHABB stands for Stop Calling 
Hermione a Bossy Braggart.  I was going to call it Stop Calling Hermione 
an Insecure Bossy Braggart who is Incapable of Running her own Love 
Life, but it didn't work into a nice acronym & wasn't going to fit on 
the badges.  So, 2 sickles to join, which seems to be the standard 
membership dues. It's for all us Hermione fans, who believe that 
Hermione has matured well beyond the swotty little know-it-all that she 
was in the beginning of PS/SS.  We think she's never been a braggart, 
and her bossiness has largely been outgrown already (but certainly will 
be by the time she's an adult).  We think Hermione should be free to 
choose to give her romantic attentions to Harry, Ron, Krum, the Giant 
Squid or whoever she chooses.  That is to say, just because Ron likes 
*her* does not by default mean that they will be a couple & that she 
necessarily likes him back (although she may ... again, it's *her* 
choice).  :--)
