jlhPretty, pretty: My UK adult cover came today, and it is gorgeous. Wowsa. No piccies, though, and no ToC. The typeface is very pretty. Clocks in at 766.
And we open on a frustrated, sullen Harry, boiling over with anger at no one in general and everyone in particular, pacing around his room and making a huge mess and being oh, so dissatisfied and refusing to leave his room. Poor Hedwig! Oof, you know, that locked door is just upsetting, no two ways about it, though I love Harry's, "You do that."
And what to my wandering eyes should appear, but Moody, and Remus Lupin (*loves, loves*) and a brand new cast of adult characters. And I must say, high time on that score. I'd love me some of that Kingsley action. I like how they all know each other but aren't too too much with the annoying banter. This isn't the A-Team. Tonks feels young, and fun, and spirited, but could easily wear out her welcome. However, it's reasonably clear that the character she's closest to is Moody. The whole wizards-in-a-Muggle house thing has gotten old and is thankfully quickly dispatched. (Though, Lupin doesn't seem to be thinking about such things—was he Muggle-born or is he just that on task?)
And then after all this frustration, the bird flies free of his cage, literally, and it's such a great, great moment, with Harry in the midst of all these adults, flying to freedom. Well, his freedom.
Sirius' prison.
More spam later!
