A slight discussion on all these debates!

Does anyone else find that they are wildly impassioned AND SO 
DETERMINED to show, express, hopefully convert people to their own 
point of view?  Yet, when they go back to the books themselves, it 
really only brings smiles, and tears, and just the joy of such a good 
STORY, and they forget all the bickering here.  I'm not at all trying 
to say that this debate is without value.  I've taken part in it (on 
this board and in my head), and I think it is termendously WITH value 
to hear other people's takes on characters, their possible pasts, 
their actions, responses, possible demises, etc., yet what draws us 
all together is this incredibly entertaining, and so MAGICAL (in 
every possible way) story and place.  I can't wait to feel that same 
magic, that same ABSORPTION into something that you only feel like 
once a year or so, into a book or a movie.  It happened to me with 
Network, it happened to me with The Graduate, with The Wall (album 
not movie), with Led Zeppelin's Zoso (L. Zep IV), and it's happened 
with each and every Harry Potter book, and I can't wait for that 
feeling to rush in again.  It makes me want to explode with happiness 
when I get that magic, that absorpiton, and I'm just utterly 
engrossed.  I hope anyone understands what I'm saying.  Write if you 
do.

In the meantime, I must really start my little happy dance over 
something I read on an ezboard (an obviously mature moderator, not 
just some random kid's posting) about release dates of the 5th book.  
With that, I bid you adieu.
