Harry Potter by ...

I was always scared as to whether I would run out of links for this blog, but such an event seems unlikely at least as long there are HP fans (to read the stuff) and HP buffs (to provide the material).

My last post was to acknowledge JKR for what she has given us. Now to more timepass stuff. Dr Mosi having successfully completed his doctoral studies in virology has now taken up serious writing that would be of great value to the world, as is evident in his recent post - Harry Potter by.... We, The Visitor editorial team, thank him for his yeoman service and wish him success in his endeavors.

Keep them coming Dr. Mosi. :)

Thank you, Ms Rowling

Its more than a month since HP-7. Most people have read it; I am one of the few who is still saving it and savoring it slowly.
How is life going to be after HP-7, particularly when JKR has said that it is the last of the series? Well, one survives by rereading the seven again, or reading interesting bits of trivia relating to it, or sharing experiences with friends and so on. I recently came across this very nice tribute by Broom to JKR - Thank you, Ms. Rowling. The post appealed to me because I too started off on HP in very much the same fashion, and it allowed me to recall my own experiences. Thank you, Broom.

Literary lists, The Potter Saga Prophecies and so on...

I've always kept my distance from the literary types, being of the view that they would be dreadful bores, and would talk in some abstruse language, that I wouldn't understand. But The Brownie undid my misconception - but then for every rule there is an exception, and as they say, the exception proves the rule. See how poor my understanding of the English language is. :(

Recently I was pleasantly surprised to read Manasi, another literature student from that eminent institution - The Star of The Sea college. Far from being boring, her posts were quite engaging with their conversational style.

She discusses the Times list of 100 greatest books of the century in her post - Listlessness.

And the post, The Prophet Speaks, in which she prophecies the possible turns the final Harry Potter book would take, is ever so delectable. From that post I was surprised to know that there are people, who write books (and make money) on what will happen in HP7!

Happy weekend. :)
