So, 6th HP book to be released at midnight tonight. And, of course, this means release parties. In bookstores, in libraries, in grocery stores....

Yes. I did just say grocery stores. Y'see, went to the supermarket today and found myself handed a Release Party pamphlet by a smiling Harry Potter. I then ran into Minerva McGonagall in the deli section and narrowly avoided bumping someone's broom in the bakery. Now this is no average grocery store---on the contrary, this is Food Mecca, the best of the breed---but even so, I cannot quite believe it's throwing a HBP party. I keep imagining kids and adults in all kinds of costumes frolicking down the canned veggie aisle.

Y'know, every time I see HBP, instead of thinking Half-Blood Prince, I hear "Harry Bloody Potter" in my head. Heh. Guess Sev must be rubbing off on me. ;)

Speaking of Sev, the poor bloke's running mad for lack of occupation. So I'm afraid I've had to give in and inflict a quiz on you folks. I tried to make it interesting, at least. Sev, m'grumpy friend, if you will? ::rustling of robes, crinkle of parchment,

Gets right to the point. Don't mind the mess. And... watch your head.

How Skary is YOUR journal?
