I think I'd like a Bat patronus.
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

The Buffista Book Club: the Harry Potter iteration
This thread is a focused discussion group. Please see the first post below for the current topic and upcoming book discussions. While natter will inevitably happen, we encourage you to treat this like a virtual book club and try to keep your posts in that spirit.
By consensus, this thread is reopened specifically to discuss Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It will be closed again once that discussion has run its course.

I got a stag on the first one even though I chose wolf.
I'm pretty sure my patronus would be some kind of monkey. A clumsy monkey. Do they make those?

You know what's awesome? Seeing the large number of adults hauling book 7 with them on the bus all week.

The EW this week is a special Harry Potter edition. So, aside from the bit about paperdol's book in it, it's well worth picking up. It's a total Harry Potter Universe Love Letter.
The end page essay perfectly articulated why I loved the epilogue.

Totally. Although this morning there was one woman on the bus who wouldn't move over to give me a seat, and she was about 70 pages from the end of DH, and I just wanted to whisper spoilers in her ear for spite.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I was the only one on my bus, although one woman asked me about it, as she was waiting for a long airplane ride this weekend to read it.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I am not afraid of cows, but neither do I dismiss them.
And cows are scary when you're walking home from the woods well after midnight and they're blocking your path across the path you need to cross a field and you're very stoned ...
I'm just saying.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Whose cows these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
As I shake in bovine fear.

That is going to be SWEET for Paperdol. What incredible luck!

Farm animals were definitely not bred for their vivacity and charm. I've got no problem staring a bovine in the eye and saying, "I like hamburgers."
Tasty, yes, sparkling conversationalists, no.
