me in tears laughing.


I agree - I read this book outloud to my old roommate, using up the
whole weekend, and we were in stitches for a lot of it - I think JKR's
dialog has really improved and was quite witty, and even the narration
was pretty spiffy.  It's hard after a first read to remember where
some of my favorite lines were, but I did enjoy:

"Dawlish is still in St. Mungo's and Gran's on the run."

"he was pressed against the back of the wall as they ran past him, the
mingled members of the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore's Army, and
Harry's old Quidditch team"

(how did they get in touch with Wood, anyway? he didn't have a coin)

When Ron was talking about Twleve Fail-Safe Ways to Charm Witches -
"You'd be surprised, it's not all about wandwork, either."

Talk about Harry Potter for Grownups!  Sounds like Harry Potter after
dark...
