Since mine was the original quote of how some of the "potential 
allure is lost" I feel I must respond.  This is not dismissive at 
all.  It's not the same as saying "I won't read the books." Or "The 
books are going to be awful because my favorite character is gone."

Dublina: You're right, I did not see stated that you would stop 
reading said books and did not read your post thinking that you would 
do so.

It merely means that I won't have the same level of anticipation, the 
same counting-down-the-hours thrill that existed before OoP. I will 
read the books, probably much more slowly, the first time through 
because I want to know what happens, but I won't be chomping at the 
bit, sweat pouring from my brow, locking myself away for the weekend 
to *devour* the books. They will be more, well, like books, and less 
like a life-pausing experience.

Dublina:  I suppose it is each and every persons way of *enjoying* 
these books.  Im a mad HP fan and haven't really picked up any other 
books (except study books) to read for enjoyment except HP or 
anything related to HP.  It took me a month to read OOtP *but* I 
decided that I wouldnt race through it.  However, I know I *will* 
be 'chomping at the bit' when the 6th comes out.  Now, I have a 
question....if you feel like this re. the 'passing' of Sirius then do 
you feel the same way with all the dreadful things that happen to 
Harry to the point where you won't have the same level of 
anticipation?
