I did not know this! Appropriate, though! Now that you mentioned it, I just looked up the meaning of Hermione and it’s Greek for “travel.” I did not know this! Appropriate, though!

HP goodness =D and she was so good about the names she gave people and places - their origins and things pretty much always have a meaning :) it is hard not to compare HP and LOTR, but since I'm a pretty big fan of both, I can keep them separated most of the time ;) there are a lot of similarities, but truly different stories! oh yes, I love Lupin. love him. and Hagrid. ahh.

I keep making comparisons between HP and LotR, because the dementors reminded me of the wraiths from LotR (I think that's what they were called? The creepster riders with the black cloaks? lol). I need to stop comparing and just evaluate HP on its own because it really is that good on its own! ah yes, the werewolves--I wasn't expecting that part of the story, and ended up really liking Professor Lupin, especially in the movie. The scene toward the end where Harry walks in on him packing was so sad! oh I LOVED the scene when he blows up his aunt, haha...that was really delightful, she just floated away! And I love Hagrid, too--he's so cute. ok, I'm feeling like a dork because I didn't get the punny aspect of Knockturn Alley until you mentioned it just now...I had gotten the others, though. :D The dementors were pretty freaky!

I love Hermione. she's such a great character. and all the Weasleys :) and I love her punny way of writing - the Knight Bus, Knockturn Alley, Diagon Alley, etc. I'm so glad you are enjoying them!
