GO WINGS!
Where was it mentioned in the HP books that DD's brother was a bartender? Someone cited that on this thread. I've been reading very carefully through OOTP (still don't have books 1-4 back). When the DA first meets at the Hog's Head, the bartender looks vaguely familiar to HP.
I just might change my tagline to piss off all those holier-than-thous who tell me I'm not a "true Christian" because I love the Potter books. How's this: I'm a Satan worshipper -- LET'S GO ISLANDERS! ;-)
I have missed hockey very much. I can't stand basketball (no offense!) and, once my Jets were eliminated, I lost interest in football. So this year, once the World Series is over (I'm one of those sick, twisted individuals who loves both the Mets and the Red Sox), I'll have more than just a weekly Jets game to keep me company.
Now, as to Dumbledore's brother being a bartender, I remember reading about that someplace, but can't remember where in the books it appears. No, I have not yet finished the re-read.
