There is going to be a Harry Potter theme park, at Universal Studios. Here's the link to the TLC article: http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/#article:9918 What does everyone think about this? I'm in two minds about it, to be honest. On the one hand, it could be very very cool if done well, but on the other hand it's commercialisation of a book series we love, and is that a good thing?

Leaky has a report from the first day of the trial. http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/2008/4/15/first-day-of-jkr-wb-vs-rdr-books-trial What are everyones thoughts on this?

For me, it was back in 1998, not long after PS came out. The local radio station had a slot on their breakfast show where they read a page of a book every morning, and they were doing PS back then. My mum thought it sounded good, and so ordered it for me. From that moment on, I loved the books. I got CoS not long after, and the rest, as they say, is history. I remember getting PoA when it was released, then saving it for my summer holiday, then reading ...

Or perhaps in another book? Post your findings here. I noticed it three times when watching Buffy. Firstly, Buffy is talking to her mum about going shopping at the magic shop, and taking Dawn for school supplies. Dawn says something along the lines of "I'm not going to Hogwarts." Second time is when Willow's in England and she says something like, "I thought you were bringing ...
