Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yes, I liked that as well. I also liked Mrs. Weasely offering Fleur the tiara after she got angry that anyone would think that she wouldn't marry Bill after he was attacked.

If I had seen someone wearing that shirt before I finished the book, I would have assaulted them.

That is just mean!
For a while I thought that the Wesley family tiara was going to be the diadem.
Today is JK Rowling's birthday.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yes, because that's stuff that anyone would know by now. And it's not the denoument of a series. Plus, it's kind of funny, all of the reveals.
