Okay, Potterfans...a review, if you want one.

The New York Times has released their review of the final Harry Potter book.

WARNINGS: There are spoilers for the previous books. There are also some minor spoilers for THIS book; while it doesn't so much as hint about who dies, the spoilers include mentions of characters and objects mentioned along the way which will be coming back to make important appearances, as well as a brief and tantalizing explanation of what exactly the Deathly Hallows are. So if you're trying to remain completely unspoiled, you might not want to read the review.

If you'd like to take the plunge, you'll find it here. But don't say I didn't warn you!

My mom, the closet Harry Potter fan

Just had the funniest conversation with my mom as she called to talk about something else. (Bear in mind, my mother does not particularly care about Harry Potter. She has nothing against it per se, other than that it's that "fantasy crap" she can't understand my and Liza's passion for; she's just not interested. At all.) ( Cut for length, but no spoilers. )

Hey, LXG and Harry Potter fans?

Thank you, morningstar4, for the exciting head's up!

*takes a deep breath*
