Harry Potter

I've spent a good number of years poo-pooing fans of the Harry Potter books for no good reason. I've always enjoyed the movies, and never been afraid to say so, but seven books? Come on. Who has got time to read seven books, let alone when they're supposed to be for children?

How wrong I was.

I am halfway through the sixth book, and am finding it very hard to deal with the fact that it will one day end. I have never been so captivated by a story. Lame? Perhaps. But when a story can have that kind of power over you, it really does feel like magic.

My apologies to everyone who I may have taunted during my non-Harry-Potter-loving days.
