j.k. rowling's harry potter and the order of the phoenix
i caught part of the second harry potter movie on tv yesterday and somehow felt compelled to reread harry potter book 5 (some mention of the defense against the dark arts teacher reminded me of how harry teaches stuff to his friends). i had been planning to reread all five of the books before book 6 came out, but really, i've read them all so many times now that it seems moot. probably i will read book 3 or 4 if i feel inspired, since those are my favorites. 5 is actually my least favorite, which i forget between readings--i'm not a huge fan of surly teenage harry as a character, and am crossing my fingers that his attitude will be sorted out (mostly) in book 6 and he listens to hermione like a sensible guy, b/c hermione is always right and also always awesome. i also look forward to more ron/ginny/neville, especially neville, who is shaping up to be quite a heroic little character.

I like Hermione the best, but really, the success of the Harry Potter books means that nobody cool can name their kid Hermione.
that's probably for the best--even with the popularity of the books, people are bound to misspell/mispronounce it. and it sucks having a name people always say wrong! (i speak from experience there.)
