People like you cause the hype, the frenzy,...(with a sad shake of the head) such madness. Those were the husband's words this morning. One brushed it off until one read this:
The children's telephone counselling service has announced it will be laying on extra staff to cope with any surge in calls from grief-stricken children if rumours are borne out in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
At such times, one thinks the husband may be right.
Nevertheless, one is going to read the last Potter book starting this evening (the book gets home delivered this afternoon). One will try not to read any spoilers, any chapter by chapter updates until one is done with the book (and the series, in a way). One is loath to confess to the shock one felt when, on reading a few pages at random from The Order of the Phoenix last night, one wanted to call the prose pedestrian (an adverbial mess). But this morning one knows that one doesn't read Potter for prose. One reads Banville for that. So why does one read Harry Potter then? Ah, to answer the question you'll have to pick up the book and find out yourself.
THAT explains the message I got :-)

@Chenthil - indeed!
@Sunil - ha, fat chance. How on earth can the guy die. I am expecting a Harry Potter revival in the coming decade. You need to keep your doors open for future wealth creation ain't it?
@Yuva - One hopes children did not bother reading papers when they had Harry Potter in their hands! I didn't read the papers.
