3 days, 4 hours, some-odd minutes

Yep, the Harry Potter Book 7 countdown has begun. The journalist in me turns up her nose at USA Today, but when it is sitting there in Papa John's and I'm waiting for my pizza, I'll pick it up and read it. (It is a great quick newspaper, but an insult to journalism - yet, that is a post for another time. It may outlast the traditional newspaper, much to my chagrin.) However, right now, it has a great Everything is Coming up Potter site that has fun stuff from a countdown clock to a write your own ending and mucho amounts of links to other Potter fun stuff. Scholastic has a great site, too, with games and downloads. My mum-in-law sent me this one with speculation about what will happen from a faith-based site. There is also a quiz to which Harry Potter character are you? Me? I'm "dreamy and absent-minded, though you often show startling intelligence. Sometimes you're Luna Lovegood, Harry's spacy acquaintance; at your best, you're Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore, far more serious-minded than your behavior might imply." hee hee. Luna Lovegood is probably more like me than Dumbledore.

Enjoy. I'll see you Friday night in line with all the other dorks.
