Kennan has insisted that we re-read the first 5 Harry Potters before we read number 6... and I'm torn between enjoying re-reading them (realizing that I'll enjoy #6 better after a refresher course), and the agony of wanting to dive in to the newest installment! Mind you, we aren't as dedicated as our friends who pre-ordered, but still...
The coolest thing about re-reading them is catching the subtle ways that Rowling has woven the books all together. For example, Dumbledore's comments at Harry's beside at the end of Year 1 (in "answer" to Harry's question re: why Voldemort wanted to kill him, anyway).
I've attempted a bit of clever allusion to the end of book 2, as well, with my title. Poor Dobby. I wonder if he had a nice wife if he would use merciless logic to force her to re-read the series. And if he did deign to make an appearance on their blog, would he have to shut his ears in the oven door for defending himself? Or, would he remain blissfully ignorant of the contents of said blog, instead? hmmmmm...
(because everyone likes getting letters in the mail)

Bor-ing.
This place is bores-ville.

If you're so bored you should go dance kookily and leave this sad, one-sided blog alone.
Besides, it's football season! How can you possibly be bored?
