Expecto patronus!

So I finally saw the third Harry Potter movie tonight, and let me tell you, this makes me EVEN MORE EXCITED about the upcoming sixth book. I have pre-ordered it from amazon.com, and it will be arriving at my doorstep in mid-July, a slightly belated birthday present pour moi!

For some reason, I found it intensely amusing that the "executioner" in the movie is constantly followed by a giant flock of crows. Athena's brother, who was watching with us, decided that he wants his very own flock of crows to follow him around -- to class, the grocery store, the gym. After a bit of introspection, I decided that I would prefer to have a ubiquitous black cloud hovering above my head. Every time my name is uttered, the cloud with emit a dramatic thunderclap. I could make it rain at will. AND I could shoot lightning from it. Plus how much fun would it be to be that sarcastic chick with a LITERAL black cloud hanging over her head??
