Me (first post, btw!)

I loved, loved, OOP, but it made me feel things that the other 4 
books had not.  I the midst of all of the angst, excitement, and 
chaos (not to mention sadness), I found myself so glad that Fred & 
George were there to give some much-needed levity, and also found 
myself cheering for the "good" teachers such as McGonagall and 
Flitwick.  What can I say about Prof. Flitwick...he totally rocks!!!!
