Welcome back to the group as we all wait impatiently for 7/21!

One thing we did some time after HBP came out was to do a series of 
Chapter Discussions about HBP. Different posters wrote summaries and 
discussion questions about each chapter. Here is a link to the 
opening post of the thread about "The Cave", Ch. 26 of HBP. There was 
some discussion of Dumbledore's words under the influence of the 
potion.
