…Harry Potter head that is. Just to give you an update, I finished book 4, last night and I feel like I’m on pins and needles. This morning in my car on my way to work I started book 5 and just can’t seem to stop myself from listening to these books. I feel I’ve made this amazing discovery and want to tell everyone about it but…oh yeah… I’m the late one, you all already know. What took me so darn long to catch on…I could kick myself.
Now is it only me or has anyone else who’s listened to these books on CD noticed that Jim Dale is suddenly pronouncing names differently? We went from Voldemor to Vodemort, emphasis on the T suddenly, and Hermani is not Hermahani (I’m spelling them phonetically on purpose)… What’s up with that? It’s not a big deal and I’m sure I’ll get used to it but it definitely breaks the flow.
What has me a bit freaked out is what am I going to do with myself when this is over? My plan was to knit a project per book, enjoy the ride so to speak but I’m going through them so quickly. And they just keep getting better and better…now I understand much more why everyone went so nuts about the last book. I can’t wait….I mean I almost want to stop myself from going so fast but then I’m dying to find out what’s going to happen. There’s another reason for understanding all the midnight reading parties. Maybe if I’d read them as they were published but going through them one after the other like this…it’s like a drug…
Gotta get back to “the order”…I’ll keep you all posted.
