Re: McKinley: OT: Harry Potter

That's really too bad, they are all great and I really enjoyed them. You
might just check out the first one from the library if you don't want to

other reviews, just remember that if you like the books you seem to (ie
Robin McKinley's) I believe you would also enjoy Harry....
