> Hello all!? I know my personal reason for staying out of the 
posting is that it feels like the same thing over and over again (and 
I'm sure everyone's answer to this is the same thing over and over 
again lol).? It's the 24 hours, the "Are Slytherins evil?," and 
Sirius v. Severus.? I guess it's hard for people who have been on the 
list so long to change what they think (especially now that DH is 
out).? I know I'm not changing how much I love Severus, my belief 
that Dumbledore totally screwed up when he gave Gryffindor those 
additional points at the end of PS, or that JKR can't keep a plot 
straight to save Harry's life.? I definitely will *not* be reading 
anything else JKR writes (...well...outside the encyclopedia -- 
although I'm afraid of that for entirely other reasons).? I only 
stayed with the books after OoP because I was invested in the 
characters; I couldn't stand the shaky plots and seemingly OOC 
actions almost all of the characters had.? The chapter discussions 
are going fabulously, but it's something you learn after your second 
theme party: it's all been done before.

Tiffany:

I was busy with college finals & term papers during late November & 
most of December, not only that but shopping for Xmas & working at an 
office on Saturdays also.  I also took the time to review my notes on 
the HP canon so far & compare them with other HP lovers at U. of 
Minnesota I know of personally.  I also bought some more HP stuff & 
cleaned out my house of any stuff I didn't need.

I personally couldn't stand how many plot holes & incosistencies in 
DH I found there, but the theme & element development remained rock 
solid, so it's no big deal for me there.  I took a while to warm up 
to how DH ended because I love a classic Hollywood/fairy tale ending, 
but by the 2nd time around I was on board with the ending.  I just 
hope that JKR can keep her facts straight better when the 
encyclopedia comes out.
