Time mark

[Sun, Jun 24, 2001]

First time ever hearing of Harry Potter. Reluctant reader, S, had finished the first two books in only a week.

[Thu, Jul 12, 2001]

Told her my intention to buy HP 1-4 in the following book fair.

[Tue, Jul 17, 2001]

She’s half done HP 4.

[Mon, Aug 13, 2001]

Me, finished HP 1 in a week. HP became the first English fiction I’ve ever read seriously.

[Wed, Aug 15, 2001]

Reading HP 2. Thought Hagrid would die in the fourth book. Wrong guess.

[Wed, Aug 29, 2001]

In HP3. Sensed two pairs of developing couple.

[Thu, Aug 30, 2001]

She didn’t agree with me about the Harry pair. Proved I’m right in the ending of HP 7.

[Mon, Sept 10, 2001]

Reading HP 4 in the ward and had discussion with a nurse.

[Sun, Sept 16, 2001]

Criticized Hermione, played by Emma Watson, fat and short. Really bad mouth.

[Fri, Sept 28, 2001]

Finished HP 4. Felt really sorry about how Cedric died and lack of description of his parents’ reaction.

[Sat, Sept 29, 2001]

She had the same thought about the poor Cedric.

[Thu, Aug 16, 2007]

After 6 years, today, done HP 7 and the whole series. Joined S as part of my most cherished memory.
