Cleaning house? What's that? ;-)
Well, now that I've not only read HBP, and reread GoF, and OoTP my house is getting beyond the pale.
I am considering bringing my leaf blower in from the outdoor shed, and just trying to blow all the mess out the front door. It works so good on my back deck, it seems like it should be helpful indoors, too (note to self-keep away from Pilot lights on the stove and hot water heater).
If it works I'll get back to you. If not, be watching for the news story: Harry Potter fan accidentally blows up house.
So, you've read the book...now you have to read the thread!!! How did you like it? How 'bout that mean ole Snape?
