I re-read the HBP's ending and got a lump in my throat when Ron and Hermione told Harry they were going with him wherever he goes. I love their friendship. But now, because of Rowling's pattern of increasing the death ante with each book, I just can't shake the feeling that Ron or Hermione is going to die in the next one. I really, really hope I'm wrong.
What'd you all order a dead guy for?

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Anyway, these are basically 19th century ghost stories set in Italy and rich and detailed and bit decadent.
That sounds like it would be fun in conjuction with The Devil in Music [link] , about an English dandy who goes over to Italy in the early 1800s and is involved with opera singers and murder and whatnot.

Maysa, I have a feeling Ron and Hermione will live. She seems to really want them to stay together and have lots of babies. I don't know, however, whether she'll kill off Harry.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Maysa, I have a feeling
That it's a demon? A dancing demon--no, something isn't right here.

A slightly-spoilery review of HBP by Chris Rankin, who plays Percy Weasley in the movies, and who, by the picture included in the article, is damn good-looking when he's not playing an officious dweeb!

Art Crawl!!!
He is. . . he could do a double role: Percy AND Bill Weasley.

I dunno, I have a thing about gingers, and he's not doing it for me, really.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I demand Damian Lewis play one of the Weasleys before the whole saga is over, because he's my favorite ginger-topped British actor bar none. Is he too old for the part of the oldest one? Charlie or Bill or whoever? (Yeah, yeah. Still haven't gone past book 3.)
