Hello. I used to do these posts where I'd list a few links to interesting posts that had turned up recently on my friends list. I haven't done one for a while, so here is a Harry Potter 7 special edition. What this is, how to opt out, and previous editions.
For the avoidance of doubt: all the posts linked below are about Harry Potter 7, and may contain spoilers. Comments on this post may also contain spoilers. (Please do take that as an invitation to make spoilery comments, especially if you had something to say about the book but didn't feel it was worth a post of its own. I am interested.)
Also, if anyone not on my friends list made a good post, please feel free to link to it in comments (if I missed someone on my friends list, let me know and I'll edit the post, but do check whether they've opted out in the poll above first; also, I'm not linking to posts about buying the book, but posts about the story itself).
