I am so delighted others are up for a discussion of the books. Still wondering about really reading together, but at least we can discuss thoughts as I go. I have honestly forgotten how addictive these books can be in truth! Well not forgotten, but it is a different degree of fun when you do not have to wait for the next publication. You are screaming what?, at the end..Then can reach for the next one. The choice of names, the blending of the real and the perhaps fictional is fascinating me at the moment. For example I had thought one very important name was a fake. That is until Google did Hedy Lamar's doodle the other day. Still, did Rowling ever repeat a name? Has she ever talked about how she chose them? One more, what detail from the first few chapters of Ss, or PS if in the United Kingdom, would you most like to have seen explored more fully? I will share, but want to give others a chance as well. Kare
