Well the truth is that i am writing a review on the anticipatio that is being felt in my household at the minute (and i am sure in many many others). this saga was introduced to me by my wife shortly after the prisoner of azkaban was released. since then i have read all the books several times, watched all the movies at the cinema, including the order of the pheonix yesterday(fab by the way), and thoroughly enjoyed every minute.
