she called the wind and then it came
oh, with the wave of her hand
she brought the sunshine right in
she was the sky
beyond steeple and the choir
oh, the preacher's amen
his hallelujah child

You and your mates are practicing your form in dueling club, and you've just been hit with a spell.

“Petrificus Totalus!”

Oh, not again, thinks Neville, as something whacks him squarely in the middle of his back.

His spine locks, instantly; his arms, hanging loosely by his sides, are suddenly rigid; his knees stiffen, immovable. Less than half a second, and he feels the freeze spread through his entire body, capturing even the tips of his fingers as his friends begin to giggle. Helpless, eyes fixed and bulging slightly, he feels the saliva start to pool behind his clenched teeth.

There’s a snigger behind him, a slight pressure, and Neville is slowly, inexorably, irresistibly falling onto his face.

Ouch.

Rules: Go to the music player of your choice and put it on shuffle. Say the following questions aloud and press play. Use the song titles and/or one to two lines from the song as your answers.

The questions are all HP (and HP:DH) related.

Note: Some of these didn't work so well with my eclectic playlist.

I got the book at midnight. I finished at at 4:30, listening to the OotP soundtrack on repeat all the way ("Possession"...*sob*). I cried until after 5. I reread the last 150 pages. I slept at 7. And I am eternally grateful to darkangsty42 for her magnificent read-all-the-books-in-a-week idea.

Well, that's it then. My childhood is officially over. Tissue, anyone?

This is it, my friends. The end is near. In a fortnight, it will all be over.

Basically, my Harry Potter Hysteria is reaching unchartable levels of nostalgia and squee, so I thought I would do the decent thing and encourage my fellow fanatics to engage in a wise and nuanced exchange of ideas (and SQUEE) about this monumentous literary occasion (I told you I was getting excited. This isn't healthy).

Basically... I want theories, I want memories, I want fic and video recs, I want favourite moments, favourite characters, thoughts on the films and any other jazz that might apply.

Please, guys. If I don't have an outlet for my excitement my head will explode and I'll die. Do you want that on your collective conscience, flisties? DO YOU?

Yours in pathetc desperation (and SQUEE),
Sophie
