Worked on a movie all day shooting at the main NYPL with the lions and all. Sadly, none of the other actors had ever been there before and didn't know it was open to the public. I, wearing glasses, was made into a librarian. The funniest part however may have been that holding was in the Moonie center.

Two different casting agencies have inquired as to my availability for Thursday -- now if one of them will just book me!

Not a lot else to report other than JKR has said that at least two characters die in Book 7 and that one got an unexpected reprieve. I will assume on all three counts these do not include Voldemort. I think the reprieve is probably Snape, Ron, or Draco, in order of personal feelings of likelihood. For death I think the likeliest candidate for death (other than Snape) is Remus. Poor Remus.

Maybe what it all boils down to is Snape needing a hug or something...I can just imagine that. This whole nearly decade-long wait for the big climactic end and they all sit around a campfire singing Kumbayah. That right there would be the end of my hope for humanity.

We were discussing yesterday at Pride whether it's possible for readers to be satisfied with the ending. and the truth is, I think we only will be if some mysteries remain, because the solutions (e.g., Snape is a bastard because he loved Lilly) are just so lame sometimes.

I am totally ok with mysteries. My brother (fellow bibliophile) and I were discussing Steven King's Dark Tower series a while back actually, and how it took him something like 20 years between the 3rd and 4th books to be finished. Some people started to think that the 3rd book was the end of the series, and that was some sort of master joke on everyone because it ends in this huge cliffhanger. J and I both decided we would've been ok had King done that.

The same applies here. If Rowling reveals every little minute detail and reason why the characters do what they do, it'll take away a good part of the magic that makes this series so wonderful.

What took you so long?

I had a sheltered childhood.

Well, I'm glad that you were adopted from the shelter before they had to put you to sleep.

It was a close call there. I don't play well with others and they'd made a special note of it.
