Harry Potter Party
July 22, 2007
Brian and I attended the Harry Potter Party at our local Border’s store. It was interesting. We waited from 8 PM until about 1:30 AM to get our book. We had fun seeing all the little kids play the games - they had a Harry Potter spelling bee, the Great Snape Debate (Friend or Foe), a costume contest, and some other stuff… We sat down in the foreign language section and read our books and walked around. Then we went through a monstrous queue of people that did not make sense but in the end we got our book, some glow sticks, and a poster. We also picked up an interesting Chinese book and a Vegetarian Sushi book for me.
We really did not try to read the book until yesterday - and even then we were trying to share. Being an only child, I am not very good at sharing (Brian is not either but he claims to be good at sharing) - basically, it ended up being that neither of us got much time with the book. So, last night I read the book from 12:30 - 3 AM and finished it. It was a quick and easy read but I found it somewhat disappointing, really. I knew I needed to read it anyway and get it out of my system because it would have been too distracting otherwise. At any rate, now I am finished with Harry Potter & Sherlock Holmes - the latter of which saddens me. However, I have since moved on to more scholarly works such as D.H. Lawrence’s The Rainbow. I am enjoying it already.
If anyone comes across any scholarly works pertaining to Sherlock Holmes or at least something more than fan fiction (I detest fan fiction.) please let me know.
