Magic

How bad do I want to go to Hogwarts?

Last week I started re-reading The Order of the Phoenix so I would be prepared for the big day, July 16th. I hadn't picked up a Harry Potter book in well over a year. I had almost forgoten how completely engrossed I become in the wizarding world. Then I realize that I'm a lousy muggle and I can't even use a spell as simple as Wingardium Leviosa. I think I made a mistake in pulling out this book with over a month left to wait, because now I am literally on the edge of my seat, so excited about the release. I am almost finished with Phoenix, I think I will have to read the first four books again as well just so I can make it through the next 31 days (and 10 hours, but who's counting?).

In the meantime, I have also broken out the classic game. That's right, the Wizard Challenge. I think at one point I got up to 70-something, with the help of my fellow co-workers, of course. I just played a couple times before posting this and the highest I got was 17. I am so out of practice!
