Inspiring words from 'Harry Potter' (?)

Well, it's not quite like that, but you know how every now and then you come across something and the light bulb comes on? I had a similar moment while I watched the film version in the cinema, but I'm sure it was a different line... but anyway. Regardless of where it comes from, it just makes sense, right?

Seeing as the Harry Potter series is well-loved (or well-loathed) and comprehensively covered by many a literary reviewer before me, I won't bang on like I know what I'm talking about - the idea behind reading the books was to get back into consistently reading, and then get back to reviewing and working my atrophied literary muscles, so what better way to start rehabilitation than Harry Potter? But I'll wait until the end of my self-prescribed movie marathon, I haven't pulled an all-nighter movie marathon for ages...

PS: the NaNoWriMo website for 2012 has launched - I've even ordered myself a 2012 shirt for a bit of motivation! Clicking on the picture below will open up my author profile there (nothing like a bit of shameless self-promotion!)

PPS: I've got my idea for the Seizure 'Viva La Novella' comp - but first I'm smashing out a little short story that just won't leave me alone...!
