Well, I finished _Prisoner of Askaban_, and I don't see why people are so hot on Snape, he came off rather badly in that one -- not only was he irrational about Harry (which we already knew) but he was a fool, which he usually isn't.
Dumbledore must have a really good reason for not giving him the Defence Against Dark Arts job. Maybe Snape is so brilliant at Potions he'd be wasted in Defence Against Dark Arts.
Those Dementors are definitely in the category of "cruel and unusual punishment".

I'm reading _Goblet of Fire_ at the moment (well, not right now) and I know I'd better stop the Pottering after that, because I'm doing the dreaded skipping ahead, which demonstrates that the book is not holding my interest. Or maybe I just hate that slimy reporter. Somebody ought to cast a spell on her Quick Quill so that it can only record the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Or make it sing out "Liar, liar, pants on fire!" whenever it didn't. Or make her pants go on fire whenever she smarms and lies. I hate that woman.
Pigwidgeon is cute, though. Though I guess Ron's going to have almost as much trouble with packages as he did when he was using Errol.

Names. There are names here so ridiculously apt that it half feels like a parody. I mean, as soon as I saw the name "Lupin" I knew what his problem was. And other names that are just awful. I mean, take "Hogwarts" for example. Pig-warts. What an awful name. Beauxbatons is much nicer. Beautiful sticks. (grin)
I wonder if Pottermania is going to induce anyone to learn Latin?

Wormtail better not die -- he's needed alive to clear SB's name.

I wonder how far ahead JKR has planned this?
