Hello Everyone,

   I'm new to posting on the List. I've been at Hogwarts for a long time but I've been on another Harry Potter List. I decided I needed to close a door there, open a window,  let in some fresh air, and see who I find in the Common Room here.  The sorting hat must have put me in the other group by mistake. I'm re-sorting myself now.

 I found the new posts realy interesting.
  I want to respond later to the post on Pride & Prejudice since I love all Jane Austen's work and have re-read my favorites many times. Each time they are more meaningful to me. I think she could have taught a few classes at Hogwarts. Her insight into muggles is amazing!

  Geoff's response on the Patronus was great. I printed it out for my Harry Potter files here.

   Marianne's quote at the end of her post: "Too many freaks, not enough circuses" was so funny. I shared it with my husband Fredd (who is a Gemini (the twins) and I think he is most like the Weasley  twins (both of them). We both laughed hysterically over that quote Marianne.Having looked for a circus for myself quite often, I could relate it to me and others I know:-)

  I actualy have not read Book 7 yet. I guess I don't want the series to end so I am glad it is still continuing on this List. I'm still re-reading the other books. I was so focused on the symbolism in the books and now I want to re-read them and sort out the symbolism for myself.  I also recently joined the Leaky Cauldron. It is so immense that I am still learning to navigate it. Technology is a fearful area for me. I'll probably have to put a "Ridiculus" spell on myself to go in there and find my way around. I really enjoyed Melissa's book.

  Glad to find you all here in the Common Room. Look forward to participating.
