About a year ago, my niece came begging to me. It was between her 
birthday and Christmas and she wanted copy of the latest Harry Potter 
book. Like many adults, I thought the Harry Potter novels were 'kids 
books' but didn't object to anything that got kids to read.

My sister (her loss) was concerned about all she heard about 'Harry 
Potter being Satanic' and asked if I could read the books to check 
that they were acceptable for her kids and that was my downfall.

A year later I have read all 4 books at least 20 times and went broke 
buying copies of all 4 books for over 10 nephews and nieces. Thanks 
to JKR I have a family of readers who beg their uncle for books for 
Christmas and all of us want the 5th book YESTERDAY!!!

Arguments of Ginny/Harry Hermione/Harry Hermione/Ron aside, I have a 
hard time remembering it's only the 4th book and there's 3 more years 
for Harry and friends.

At the end of Goblet of Fire, Harry, Ron, & Hermione are all only 14 
(Ginny only 13) and all rumors have Harry's adventures continuing 
through 7 years of Hogwarts and climaxing in the 7th.

A few rantings:
PLEASE JKR

1) Hurry with Book 5! We're all going through Harry withdrawl!

2) No characters going to the dark side. The entire western world was 
raised on Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. Please no corrupting of 
the main characters (or their families)

3) It's TOO EARLY to match up 13 & 14 year olds. As this is a 
grownups club, How many of you met your future spouses at that age?

4) PLEASE STOP THE DEATH PREDICTIONS!!! Harry does not have to die at 
the climax! He can live happily ever after! How would you have 
handled knowing at 14 that you would save the world and be famous, 
but by the way... you're going to die at age 18, so don't bother 
getting too connected to anyone... or falling in love... or anything 
that makes life worth living...

Done with my ranting... Sorry

Please JKR! Release BOOK 5 SOON!!!!!
