I met the famous people! plus a spoiler at the end

[quigonginger]

Knowing that JoAnna was headed to Barnes and Noble, I secured a 
nametag-like patch in which I listed groups of which I was a member 
in hopes of attracting her attention.

It worked.  I think we can excuse them for sitting and talking in the 
parking lot until 2 am the night they met.  I talked to them until 
almost 1 am and found them to be delightful and extremely funny 
company.  And I'm not even in love with them.

The funniest part was after they bought the book.  They were a couple 
hundred in line ahead of me, and after they had bought their copy, 
they came back and talked to me.  JoAnna kept opening the book to 
random spots and yelling out things like "Wow!  Who would have 
thought that Snape and Trelawney were married!"  

Then they were recognized as the people in the paper and were the 
coolest thing there aside from the book.  Several of us had to be 
herded by the staff as we had forgotten to move up in line.

And a good time was had by all.

YOU'VE READ THE BOOK, RIGHT?

LAST CHANCE

DON'T READ ON IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED

YOU HAVEN'T?  

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE- GET READING!

OK, ENOUGH SPOILER SPACE

I honestly don't know what to think of Snape.  As a Snape-fan, I want 
to believe that he is on the good side for the reasons Shaun 
mentioned.  Allowing Draco to remain innocent of murder increases his 
chances at redemption.  

I figured when Snape made that vow, and then was DADA teacher that he 
would break the vow and die from that.

On another toplc: misprints.
In the US edition, I found what I believe to be 3 typos or errors.  
Am I wrong?

Chapter 1, Page 10:  ...the Prime Minister could not help but fear 
that the next time Fudge appeared it would be with graver news 
still.  The *site*, therefore of Fudge stepping out of the fire once 
more, looking disheveled and fretful... 

Shouldn't that have been "sight"? 

Chapter 3, Page 38:  The misty *fug* his breath had left on the 
window sparkled...

Shouldn't that have been *fog*?

Chapter 23, Page 502:  ...Horcruxes in the plural, Harry, which I do 
not believe any other wizard has ever had.  Yet it *fitted*:  Lord 
Voldemort has seemed to grow less human with the passing years...

Shouldn't it be "fit"?

If someone with better English skills could tell me I'm wrong on 
these, I'll be able to read better in the future.  It will bug me 
until then.

Ginger, hoping everyone had a nice Harry Potter Day
