My addiction, take 2

My phone rang at 9ish this morning; it was, as anticipated, FedEx delivering the guilty pleasure that I am far from alone in savoring today.

I did not put Harry Potter down, except to drive back and forth to the gym, and only just finished it about a half hour ago. Husband immediately snatched it up and is already up to chapter two, although he would never admit his own fascination with the stuff. It's so formulaic, after all, so predictable...etc.

Without giving too much away for people who haven't yet read the whole thing: I had to get up and walk around during the chapter on O.W.L. exams. Dizzying. I know they're supposed to be a send-up of British-style midhighschool exams, the likes of which we fortunately lack on this side of the pond, but they felt just a bit too much like law school to me.
