Escape from Gringotts

Mr. Boy, of late, has been extra fidgety during the nightly readings of the final Harry Potter tale. But not tonight. The theft from the wizard’s bank of one of Tom Riddle’s soulfull horcruxes, and especially the escape on the back of a half-blind dragon raptly held his attention.

Potter arrives!

The new and final Harry Potter book arrived in the mail, as scheduled, today. Mr. B. and I have plunged into the first two chapters. Unfortunately, it starts slowly, with much background, some new, some old. Nevertheless, bedtime reading is going to be more exciting this week and next.

UPDATE  It isn’t long, however, before Potter is in peril. Mr. B. tried to stay awake as things got exciting, but try as he might, he was just too tired and he fell asleep. Have to reread that part tomorrow.
