I love, love, love this writing style. It reminds me, just a little, of the awkward realness of A Confederacy of Dunces, one of my favorite books. There are entirely too many good lines to quote, so I'll just have to memory this entire thing.
it was like holding a sweet in one’s mouth to say her name. This line is precious. I had an ex once say that my full name felt "warm in his mouth". :-)
I just love that Ginny and Harry watched it on t.v., and the way Dudley called Harry a weird kind of normal.
