Hey all, anyone out there go to a midnight madness Harry Potter party Friday night? I haven’t had a chance to stop into a bookstore and snag a copy of Deathly Hallows yet, but I’m in the midst of re-reading The Half-Blood Prince to freshen up on things before tackling the final installment.
I used to be one of those people who had zero interest in learning anything about Muggles, Quidditch, Voldemort or anything to do with those “silly kids books”, but then I saw the first two films and thought they were both really entertaining, and when The Order of the Phoenix was released, I was working as a supervisor at a Barnes & Noble so I got to witness the hysteria of J.K. Rowling’s work firsthand at a midnight release party.
I never saw so many excited, sparkly-eyed children in my life. You could see how much the material meant to them…how emotionally invested in the lives of Harry, Ron and Hermione they were. It was like their Star Wars. Right before the film version of Prisoner of Azkaban came out, I read all the books and I’ve been sucked into the hype ever since. A tip o’ the cap to you Ms. Rowling! (Though I don’t think Ben and Devin would have much interest in Harry Potter).
I hope all of you have been enjoying the website. Marc continues to update it with new stuff all the time. There’s the handy new “Jump to a strip” menu located underneath the current running strip and the Diogee’s links page, which, in addition to Diogee revealed in full color, features banners and links to our favorite Webcomics, most of which have generously participated in link exchanges with us. Thanks guys!
Oh, and speaking of links, feel free to use these to link back to us on your website! (you can also find these on the Diogee’s Links page as well).
