And so it begins...

For the past ten years, I have publically denounced the Harry Potter series as mediocre, overhyped, and just generally undeserving of the fanfare. It was born mostly out of a sense of booksnobbery, but also partly because of my loyalty to Lord of the Rings and all things Tolkien. But something has changed...

That something is Twilight.

And in light of the recent suckage of popular "literature", I've realized that...well, maybe Harry Potter deserves a chance. I mean, surely overhyped barely-developed wizards are better than sparkly, bipolar vampires?

So starting next Tuesday, I will begin to read Harry Potter, starting with Book One (because a certain singing nanny told me the beginning is a very good place to start) and because I am narcisstic and needy, I will blog my thoughts and experiences which will hopefully give all of you (whom I am sure have read these books long, long ago) feelings of nostalgia of how it was to read them with fresh eyes.

Sound good?

We'll see.
