Been reading Harry Potter all over again... for the tenth time, I think?
Wouldn't be surprised if it were more...

Anyway, I suppose one of the reasons I keep revisiting this series which I've been reading since I was a kid is because of its language. The way thoughts are put into words by characters in the series really captivates me.

My favourite one would be Dumbledore's "To the well organised mind, death is but the next great adventure".

Then there's Snape's "‘You have no subtlety, Potter,’ said Snape, his dark eyes glittering. ‘You do not understand fine distinctions. It is one of the shortcomings that makes you such a lamentable potion maker."

Yet who can forget Umbridge's opening speech "Each headmaster has brought something new to this... historical school. But progress for the sake of progress must be discouraged. Let us preserve what must be preserved and prune practices that ought to be...prohibited!"

And lots more...

These lines play quite a significant role in my way of thinking, not just the mentioned ones, but the whole of the HP series. Its inlaid into the way I think, act, and react -- in short, its a part of me.

I'm just being childish here... but being childish is a rather efficient method of escape from reality. Whenever I return to reality its just work... and I dunno how I got into such a terrible life. Which sucks.
