5 days to go

I told you right from the start this Challenge Colin idea was a lot of nonsense and... Oh, wait a minute, I've already done that one. How about...

  Did you know
 
In the US, episode 1 is known as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. This is because Americans love tomato sauce but have never heard of philosophy.
As I predicted, Challenge Colin is heading for dismal failure. I don't like to say "I told you so" but whoever came up with the idea ought to be made to watch England games for a whole weekend.

What all this means is Book 1 page 151. Based on yesterday's progress, I will be 29 by the time I finish book 5.

768 pages!! I mean that really is awesome. Normally Cracker can only stand up for about 40 minutes at a time, so this is going to be a real challenge. I have calculated on my abacus that as my copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is 223 pages long and the movie lasted for 2 and a half hours, the length of the movie version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will be 6 miles and 426 yards.

I think that's enough amazing facts for one evening. I've got some serious reading to do.
