You're so in the know! That does sound like what I was thinking of with Tamora Pierce's books. I will have to relocate these epic ramblings... I believe you warned me and Kit off originally.

Can we all of the bad writing in the final scene on Rupert's shoulders? Except I feel kinda bad about that, cause he seems like a nice guy. I think it's just Kloves. He seems to like ending on some, um, "profound" statement... "I'm not really going home"... "Everything's going to change now"... "Hogwarts is beyootiful!"
