Probably because I already know the story, more or less, through the films.<BR/><BR/>'Til the films, I thought that "fantasy" wasn't my thing. Shows what I knew.<BR/><BR/>Don, if you haven't ventured for one reason or another, the Harry Potter books are worth a quick read, and have some decent poems/songs in them, too.<BR/><BR/>Just putting that out there.thingfish23http://www.blogger.com/profile/06589208158687012714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10682004.post-70231048194120866432008-03-26T07:45:00.000-07:002008-03-26T07:45:00.000-07:00The oaks that hold their leaves are still doing so.
