Glad to hear from you, a successful road trip is getting there and back and the truck still running at the end.

LOL!
Smaug the magic dragon, lived by long lake.
And frolicked in the foggy mists near the land of withered heath...
(To the tune of Puff of course..)

Almost as scary, but just as bizarre!

I'm so there. I can sing alto, very loudly and not that well.

Dragons live forever
Unless shot by Bard the Bowman
But little hobbits grow old
(unless they've got EEEeeevil magic rings)
Hmm, that doesn't scan very well.

Tenor, somewhat.
A screaming metal/alternative band?
Gotta have some really odd stage act.
(For some strange reason.. GWAR comes ot mind..)

Balrogs in Bedroom Slippers would make a good name for a rock band.LOL! Yes it would :)

Yes, the first Harry Potter book in particular has a Dahl-ish feeling. She settles into her stride more in the second book.I LIKE Dahl...so that isn't a bad thing anyway.
So far Hagrid is my favorite character, besides Harry, I guess. Cool entrance.

Hee, that's because the really cool characters don't get much pagetime at all, and then only show up in book 3... um... I'm a slightly odd fan but I've always thought Harry was a lot less cool than his parents and their friends.
Hagrid is pretty good. Professor McGonagall has some surprising twists to her character; I like her. Fred and George Weasley are cool. And next book is the absolutely inimitable Professor Gilderoy Lockhart.
Rowling has a real gift for memorable minor characters. Unfortunately I find her main three a little dull and stock - probably because they're kids. Most of her characters are definitely good or definitely evil, at least in the first two books, though it gets more complicated after that.

Excellent! :) Gotta expand on that--could have a hit right up there with Leonard Nimoy's Ballad of Bilbo Baggins :)

Way to go, congrats.Thank you, Master Bowman :)

Who's GWAR (she asks innocently, not knowing anything about nonChristian bands at all)
I have one cd by a group called ReliantK that's close to what I'd imagine Balrogs in Bedroom Slippers sounding like. Kind of slightly funk/ moderately hard rock with seriously odd lyrics.

I'm not too good at keeping tempo and word fit over the long run.
LOL!
