Thanks! I have to admit, I had a great time doing this. Though Anthony deserves most of the credit, he did a great job editing the pictures to what we needed after I took them! For having very little time, I think it turned out very well. I'm just (...) (23 years ago, 24-Feb-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) There is a major difference between fads and HP. Namely the adults. Most adults dislike the fads. With HP half the fans are adults. At the very least the books will sell to the adults who are hooked. -Mike Petrucelli (23 years ago, 24-Feb-02, to lugnet.castle)
