final round of Pottermania!
(No spoilers in this post, so you can rest easy)
Very hardcore people lining up in a queue that stretched all the way from the information desk in the middle of Borders Sylvia Park, through the glass doors and to the stairs leading up to Hoyts Cinemas. Insane.
Arron was queuing up for me though, so after teaching finished at 11, I made my way through and he had my book already. It’s a pretty good read: it feels like you’ve grown up with this bespectacled Wizard (by the way the last picture in that group above is of Henry dressed up as the Wizard Boy himself) through the seven books. The literary term is a bildungsroman story – a coming-of-age book where he finally discovers all the answers and all the loose ends get tied up.
If I had the time I’d read it again.

Excellent 21st dinner at the Gengis Khan Mongolian BBQ Restaurant. Nick’s birthday went very well, good tributes and mentions of his attributes and qualities, and Jared is officially going out with Kristy it has transpired. Some very dangerously soppy texts in his inbox (not from me), lol.
First week back of uni has been relatively cruisy so far. Quite fond of my papers, even though 304 seems admittedly a touch flakey. Take care!
