The Thursday Threesome::Harry Potter Mania::

Onesome: Potter- Which Harry Potter character is your favourite? Why do you like him or her?

Poor Ron Weasley. One of a crowd of Weasleys and the hero's best friend. Doomed to be overlooked and ignored no matter what he does. (Interesting contrast with Harry, who spent ten of his first eleven years being hated, four years being Famous, and would now give anything to be overlooked and ignored.)

Twosome: Publication- Is there one publication that you just have to read? A paper you read daily, a magazine you read weekly or monthly? Newsletters? And do you buy it for the articles, or just to look at the pictures? ;) Whatever it is, tell us about it!

Nope. Well, I'm enjoying the current run of The Amazing Spider-Man...

Threesome: Party!- The festivities begin tomorrow night in bookstores across the US and England, (and elsewhere too, probably!) with fun and games for the kid in all of us. Do you plan to be there standing in the queue when the clock strikes midnight to pick up your copy of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix?

Why, thank you so much for an opportunity to plug the release party at the Perimeter Mall Barnes & Noble, where the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company will present readings from the first four books. Your correspondent will be appearing in several supporting roles, including Arthur Weasley, Nearly Headless Nick, and James Potter. My son will be Colin Creevey, and my daughter (!) is Draco Malfoy. No, really. The magic of radio.
(Well, she has the right coloring. Blonde hair, pale skin, all that. Wearing her school uniform in Slytherin colors, she does look like she could be a Malfoy. We just have to convince her that however snotty she thinks she has to be to play Draco, double it. There's no way to overdo this.)
