wiseheart | So, it is party time again, folks!

Each year this time, we launch my virtual birthday party, which starts on October 1 and ends on October 9 at midnight, sharp. The goals of the party are to post as many comments and collapse as many threads as possible, on as many new pages as we can. It is always great fun, as you can see if you check out the similar entries of the last few years.

This year, I'll also throw the real party at mid-time - and post the recipes of all the food that will be there for you, so that you can all participate if you want to. Virtual food has no calories.

Fandom-related discussions are as welcome as the ones about coffee or chocolate (just to name a few favourites from previous years), and, of course, pictures and recipes of birthday cakes. ;)

So, drop by, tell your story, post your pics or silly poems, ask questions you always wanted to ask and have a good time!

Soledad, in excited expectation

Oh, and by the way, to provide birthday gifts hobbit-style, I've got a revived story and a Kansas 2 update for you.

Enjoy!

I quite liked HBP, especially once I'd been persuaded of the truth of Snape's sympathies, and then to find there was yet another mystical gizmo ... and, as you say, the epilogue was simply absurd.

*nods* Sudden new magical thing to look for with no warning was rather too much.

And tying it in to the cloak felt a stretch, as if JKR had looked around for objects introduced in book ?1 and tried to make them count in the climax.

Actually the cloak made the most sense to me - it was the randomly appearing without any mention other bits (eg if she'd included the tale in the first or second book, it would have made more sense.... but still been rather odd)

I get the impression the tale grew in the telling. I suppose JRRT simply revised The Hobbit to fit the new narrative weight the Ring needed to take.

So, it is party time again, folks!
