Petunia’s Invitation

Posted on November 1, 2017 by Hatboy

Today’s no-sleep, full-bladder, empty-stomach adventure into Töölö for injection-of-contrast-material and computer-scanning actually went a lot faster than expected and I got to work only slightly later than usual.

Here’s a thought

Posted on October 8, 2016 by Hatboy

Day 27. 161 pages, 58,131 words. Okay, Dolores Umbrage may not have been raped in the Harry Potter series, but you know who was? Voldemort’s dad. I know, this isn’t really news, but maybe everything is more twitchy now than … Continue reading →

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Again)

Posted on September 25, 2016 by Hatboy

Day 14. 0 pages, 0 words. I reviewed this nine years ago, when we saw it at the cinema. Watched it again with Wump last night, and it was as un-gripping as I remember. Wump was underwhelmed. Huge book, lots … Continue reading →

Daily chuckle

Posted on July 6, 2016 by Hatboy

I bought a bit of Harry Potter merchandise for Wump’s birthday, trusting to Amazon’s “people who bought this” feature to set me up with some fun stuff. As a result, we ended up with a remote-control wand for the TV, … Continue reading →
