man, i won't even tell you which house that talking hat put me in. the vast majority of internet quizzes have put me in gryffindor (with the occasional hufflepuff or ravenclaw) and i trust the internet way more than i trust mechanical hats. there's a sentence i never pictured myself saying . . .
anyway, with my obvious bitterness in mind, you can feel free to take my comments with a grain of salt. although i admired the regulator's efficiency at dispersing the book, i don't think they did nearly enough in the entertainment arena (this hat was pretty much it, and you could only get to that after midnight). i really think for book 7, if they're going to make everyone wait outside, they should bring the sorting hat out there and bring the hogwarts trivia brigade out a little earlier to entertain the crowd. not that we didn't entertain ourselves well enough--plenty of potter-talk, along with some judy blume and v.c. andrews discussion thrown in for good measure (don't worry, there weren't young kids in our vicinity). i'm glad we killed over an hour at francesca's, which had some nice harry-potter-themed stuff, instead of standing around aimlessly for two hours.
anyway, click the photo to get to my other random shots of the evening, and see below for my comments on the book. i am obviously still too hyped from reading it to go to sleep. :)
