Good to hear

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

That's really good! It should be number one, though. But it has been nearly a year since Deathly Hallows was released, so I guess being number three will do.

I have a hard time believing that all the books they read are biographies. But yes, very nice to see Deathly Hallows up there, and yay for The God Delusion!
