I am addicted to Harry Potter. Which is quite surprising considering I hadn't read or listened to any of the books until the last week in September. Kirky had just gotten back from visiting her parents who let her borrow the first two books ("Sorcerer's Stone" and "Chamber of Secrets") on tape. So I begrudgingly listened to them so I could get caught up to where she was and we could both listen to them on the way to our vacation on Cape Cod.

Wow.

I was hooked. I had already like SciFi/Fantasy books but this one was different. I can't articulate my interest in these books but suffice it to say we spent a day walking through Provincetown on vacation looking for the next 2 books on tape ("Prisoner of Azkaban" and "Goblet of Fire") and purchased them as well. I am eagerly awaiting the fifth book and the movie planned to be released next year. I'm even working on a Halloween costume to become Rubeous Hagrid the Hogswart Gameskeeper. (Yes, I may be a little old for trick-or-treating but when you live in a town like Salem, MA....the entire month of October is Halloween and everyone participates.)

You'll see snippets here and there about new movie casting announcements or bits of gossip for the book. I'm so tired of the lack of fansites out there that I'm tempted to make one myself.
