Harry Potter
New Harry Potter material?
JKRowling’s website has a new Room of Requirement door challenge on it dated 13/01/12. But there is a do not disturb sign on the door, and I can’t work out how to open it or if you can open it yet.

What phone would you recommend?
I’m looking at getting a new phone. The features I want it to have are:
Buttons
A text message system that displays texts like a conversation.
Able to read PDF’s.
Sturdy
Reasonable battery life
Good internet capabilities
Easy for social networking.

E-books?
Yay or neigh? I personally can’t see the appeal of reading a book off a screen. I like having a book printed on paper.
