I love many HP fests, but this one is my absolute favorite. Every day's post is like a present. (For the first couple weeks of the fest, posting takes place during one of my classes. When students come up to me afterward to ask questions, I feel like shouting at them, "Not now! I have to go check today's Beholders!") Such high-quality work and such fabulous pairings. I'm now officially Auntie Muriel's biggest fan, and smokin' (in so many senses) Viktor Krum's, too. Thank you, Beth, for running things so well and for making all these delights possible. I do hope it will happen again next year.
