I'm sure you'll find an oboe you can live with. I like the sound of the oboe. Good choice!
How was the movie? My daughter gave me the first five HP books when I went to Vegas in October, and I think I read them in two weeks. I read the first one in one day while I was there, since everyone was either at work or at school.
I liked it, considering how much they had to condense.
Very intense! I'll have to go see it a couple more times. :-)
