Not only that....

The new Harry Potter comes out on my birthday, too! This has been two straight years of good birthdays to look forward to. Last year it was the sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean that came out on my birthday. The original Pirates is my favorite movie of all-time, so I was disappointed in the sequel, but oh well.

I didn't get into Harry Potter until book #4 was already out. I went to visit a friend of mine in Colorado and walked into his fraternity house to find he and some "brothers" hotly debating Harry Potter. I decided at that point to give it a try.
