As I have been going through the latest messages I am very impressed 
with the talent and thought of my fellow members and like others I am 
very excited about the upcoming release of DH. To celebrate, I am 
going to read one chapter a day until I have the great book in my 
hands.  There are 162 days left and there are 162 chapters, not 
including the school books.  I feel my post-Potter depression lifting 
and it feels great.

I don't think those details are essential but I still want to know. I 
am very curios and I feel that those little detail will make the 
story complete and help provide closure. If too many details are left 
out I will feel let down.  Harry has been in my life from before I 
became married and had kids.  He is like a very good friend and when 
DH has been read I am sure that I will feel like I have lost a close 
friend.  That is why I want the little details,  I know little thing 
about my friends and love them for it

breed to worry how they dig a grave.

More then that I wonder how you tell the difference between the male 
and female dementors.  I doubt any one wants to lift up their robes.
