Heartwarming moments? Let's see, there was this 5-alarm chili I had some time ago; a cold beer took care of it.

Re: "expecto patronum"
When I had no power for about a week when Hurricane Katrina hit Florida, I whipped out my Harry Potter books and just started reading them. I'm still astonished by how fast I read them. I finished the first on one day, and the second the next.

Re: "expecto patronum"
Then I'll translate. Just the happiest moment of your life. Not something simple, like being happy when laughing at one of Blokes funny posts, but almost like a divine experience happy. I'm sure some of us on here would mention performing a certain piece of music, one memory I would consider would be performing Kingfishers Catch Fire by John Mackey with a high school honor band at a near-by University. Perhaps the first time you met your wife, or your wedding day, I don't know, it's personal for everyone. Does that help a bit?
And to the OP, I don't know about everyone else, but I could read your original post just fine, I was just shocked, as shocked as you were probably, by what happened in your story, hence they
.
And as a side note, I am proud to say that within eight hours of the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows, I had completed it.
Also, I liked it, it did make me think. Thanks for posting it.

My thoughts exactly.the elephant wrote:Having never read the books I still do not get it. So others will have to share. Sounds awfully "new age" to me. I will stick to the Lord of the Rings.
Although, Harry Potter is clearly not a children's book, as I feel like I'm the only person at my high school who has not memorized the entire series.

Re: "expecto patronum"
Hell, yeah! I've read Deathly Hallows several times and I still think it's pretty damn cool. Right up there with Tolkein and Richard Adams (Watership Down). Now, the big question- if you could, in fact, shout "Expecto Patronum!" and conjure up a Patronus, what would it be? I believe mine would be a giant, winged, guinea pig.Greg wrote: I've read all of the Harry Potter books and enjoyed them immensely. Kids books maybe....but would you also say that Huckleberry Finn is a kids book? Tom Sawyer? In my opinion, it is landmark literature that has been written in the last decade. Give it a try.....
