Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.

That sounds great, I wish I could go to something like that.. but my town is always far away from the "major event" places, even if I do live in Cali... things are always too far away for my parents' blood to be driving. *sigh* the complications that come with being fifteen...

Thats sounds cool, but I dont think I could read OOTP in 24 hours.
Hello?? I live in Atlanta--a big city, but we'd rather host some sporting event than a Harry Potter readathon, geez!

That's awesome! I would need alot of caffeine to keep me awake. I couldn't read it in 24 hours straight but I could read in in 24 hours if that was all I did. If you know what I mean. | |

I would of loved to take part in that but i dont live in Indiana. Never mind Indiana, I dont even live in the US. How far away is Britain from Indiana? I suppose that i could do my own marathon but probably no one would take part in it. sob! :/ | |
