So I got the new Harry Potter. Great story that one. As most of you know I was pretty indifferent to the whole thing. Sure Harry Potter is all fine and well, I enjoyed the third and fourth books. The prospect of an 800 page sequel sounded good, but I didn't think I wanted to be $30 for it. Well, while I was stocking up for the continuation of The Deli Experiment I noticed a sign on Ralph's door.

Harry Potter book Five! 40% off with Ralph's Club!

or something to that effect. Well... with 40% I figured I could stomach that... So while Mary waited for her copy at Border's, I headed over to Ralph's. Pretty good amount of people... but not tons. Got a raffle ticket from the cute little girls who were probably the offspring of a store manager. Didn't think much about it.... but I ended up winning the first four books of the series. What's more, Ralph's had coupons for free six pack of coke bottles, and a free bag of cookies. I scored big time. I got all 5 Harry Potter books, a six pack of coke 20's and a bag of cookies for $19.67! I think I got a pretty good deal.

As for the book.... I won't spoil anything. It was pretty good, but I think the fourth will remain my favorite. It was nice and long though. And the cover is pretty and blue. Big time points there. I think JK Rowling does have good characters. They aren't always the deepest characters, but they are very effective. She makes you hate characters, she makes you fall in love with them. She does it better in this book than in the previous. I won't say more than that.
