Thank goodness

One less reason for me to get a PSP.

Lumines for the mobile phone.

That’s really all I have to say.

Book 7 (Well, not really.)

Drawing his wand, he concentrated and wordlessly cast quietus on Ron and Hermione. Hermione’s head twitched as the spell took effect. He regretted casting spells on his friends, but time was of the essence. He would explain later, when everyone was safe.

There’s playing with a yo yo, and then there’s playing with the yo yo. There is some very fast string work, something I could never really do reliably. I wonder about the configuration of the yo yo. I’m guessing a butterfly at least, in order to make that many catches.

What gets me is that the man is wearing gloves.

Very fast, incredible work.
