Quite a lot of things have happened recently, one of which is the latest Harry Potter craze, following the release of the ultimate volume in the series, Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows.

I must say, the days at school following the official release of the book proved to be a great test of my patience. The first great source of irritation came in the form of random inconsiderate people being unable to keep their mouths shut regarding the contents of the book. Although I tried my utmost to avoid the entire topic for fear of reminding said people that they have the power to ruin my anticipated savouring of the book, my efforts proved to be futile, as once again, the great antagonist, Yiding, chased me around the entire Popular bookstore in J8 shouting spoilers at me while I ran around covering my ears. Nevertheless, I still got spoiled in the end. And even if I didn't get spoiled by Yiding, I'll still get spoiled in the end by other random people...Haiz.

The second source of irritation came in the form of a certain self proclaimed god who could not bear to witness the sight of a peace-loving person keeping to himself reading a book which he went to great lengths to acquire. Hence, by dint of a slightly unhinged mental composition and an unusually large mouth, he started to practice his oratory skills 2 inches from my ear whenever I flip open my borrowed Harry Potter book and attempt to read it.

However, I was compensated by the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie that I watched yesterday with some classmates. It was quite enjoyable, although the movie itself was very short and condensed, and missed out quite a few important parts like Dumbledore animating the statue to block Voldemort's "avada kedavra" spells. But the duel between them was still super cool, like Voldemort's thousands of pieces of glass and fire snake and Dumbledore's watery ball. Then we went to eat a very late dinner at Mos Burger and Wendi told me about the IHC badminton, which sounds so interesting that I regretted attending H3 maths lecture that day instead of watching the badminton.
