Yer A Muggle, Kiki

Years. And years. And years and years! ...of me actively and adamantly refusing to read Harry Potter have finally turned against me and I have caved. Why was I so against it? I don't even know. I'm not against childrens' books (admit it; they started and were marketed that way!) I'll carry around the Baby Sitters' Club or Boxcar Children, I have no shame! And I LOVE magic and Disney and fairytales. What was the inward aversion?? I still don't know, but I can tell you what finally broke me down. Reading this:



I read that and FINALLY sighed and kicked myself mentally and said FINE. FINE, J.K. ROWLING, I WILL READ IT. And I have to admit that not understanding anything Harry Potter is like not having the internet... you are just completely oblivious to like 70% of the jokes and pop culture out there.

So on January 9, 2012, my descent into the 7 wizarding volumes of Mr Potter hath begun. And they really are very creative and cute. AND I won't have to wait a summer or a year for the next volume or movie to come out. So take that to Hogwarts and put a spell on it, suckers.
