Even though I could happily go the rest of my natural days without ever hearing about the boy who lived ever again, I still sort of wanted to key into all that fannish energy bouncing around. Like I told another non-fan friend this weekend, I sort of felt like the Jewish kid at his elementary school's Christmas pageant. *nods* Yeah, and I know exactly what you mean. Well, other than the flist thing because I haven't had the time of late, but the regular radio and newspaper made up for that.
Still, I'm glad I read it. It wasn't a let down at all, as I wasn't expecting or even hoping to be blown away (I mean, do I really *want* to join the fandom of DOOM?), and at least there's the second hand excitement...
Partially unrelated thought, but one of these days I'm going to sit sown and think about which sort of charaters/mediaverses enthrall me. Because if the series had been written from the POV of the Hogwarts *teachers*, I'd likely be much more interested.
