30 Day HP Meme, Day 2
Jul. 19th, 2010 09:55 amMy friend had her baby yesterday! A boy, Ethan Conor. Both are doing well. Can't wait to see them :)
Also, Meme: day two
02. Your favorite book
Goblet of Fire. Restrospectively, at least. I tend not to be particularly discerning when actually reading - I get completely sucked into the story and, unless it's completely terrible, love it. I loved every single one of the HP books while reading. It was only later on that I began to notice the problems in each book as well.
But yes. Goblet, for certain. The plot is wonderful. It's chunky and that feels right for it - lots of stuff happens, unlike in OOTP, really. We get introduced to a whole bunch of new, interesting characters, thanks to the tournament, and the focus starts to become a little more about the world at large and less about Harry and his immediate circle of family/friends. We get the absolutely brutal climax with Cedric's death (kill the spare) and the revelation of Snape as a double agent.
Also, it has Rita Skeeter in it. And although I didn't love her the first time through, I'm sure it's fairly obvious to everyone how much of a hold she got on me later ;).
