Potioncat:
Some days I just feel like Winnie-the-Pooh. Most decidedly a bear of 
little brain. A good bit of this discussion, and similar ones 
elsewhere leave me scratching my head in puzzlement.

What I hear several of you saying (yeah, I studied a bit of 
psychiatry) is that "the books are beginning to lose some of their 
sparkle; things aren't going quite the way you had expected; is that 
all there is?"

Clarify something for me though, what first brought you into the 
books? Not, why did you start reading them, but what captured you and 
started you on this time consuming hobby of Harry Potter and the...
What about the story really got your attention? And then, what 
changed? 

Before I go off on my experience, I'll wait to see what others say.

As for Codswallop...I don't dare utter it. Quite by accident I 
said "Bloody wicked!" the other day and my entire family walked away 
from me. I'm pretty sure no adult anywhere ever says, "Bloody 
wicked"...but oh well...
