I could be wrong though, I'd have to look it up.

On mugglenet.com there's a bit about a live chat with Rowling on Monday. Here is a link to the Bloomsbury site about it.

You are correct Hagrid took Buckbeak/Witherwings.

It's the same sentiment that quite a few people were giving in the Transformers thread.

Do Wizards in say India celebrate Hindu holidays or middle eastern wizards Islamic holidays?

I remember at least once there were Christmas Trees in the Great Hall (and snow from the ceiling, if I remember rightly) - so they do celebrate Chistmas.

No word of what Padma or Pavarti did though.

Oh, alright- I'll go start the 'Let's not discuss Harry Potter thread. Any volunteers for the 'iSm goes ballistic' thread?

Lashbear, you are too funny! Good one....

Lol!!!! I typed in nearly the very same thing, but then erased it because I didn't know if Matt was just having a bad day and needed to vent.

(Actually I was thinking somewhat along the same lines but in lower case and without the exclamation points.

)

These are books intended for kids and the rest of us have come along for the ride. I'm personally really impressed with how she developed the story and the characters through all the books. These books aren't great literature but since they're so much fun to read, who cares? Rowling could have gotten all the details right...if she'd spent so much time writing each book that the momentum and excitement would just about disappear.

So that's my two cents worth and a

for a fun read. Now I'll go back to reading everyone's analysis and nitpicking which I'm enjoying just the same. You're all very articulate and thoughtful while all I can come up with is: Book good.

I've been having a great time with the books. Sorry for the screaming, I was doing it all in fun.
