Last night, I dreamt I was taking part in a special scavenger hunt organized by the publisher of the Harry Potter books. The town it was being held in was expectedly overrun, but despite the chaos I managed to decipher the first six items pretty easily. The final clue seemed to have a lot of the contestants crowding into a local hospital, thinking it was there, to the point where you couldn't get inside. I took one look at the bottleneck and decided I wasn't that crazy, and went across the street to an outdoor cafe run by an elderly couple.
The woman came outside to drink coffee with me, and while watching the insanity said it was too bad that the cafe was all out of their special chocolate dessert today, seeing as it's unique to the shop. And I put the clue and her statement together and realized the last item in the hunt was fudge! I stood up and yelled it (and isn't it odd to have a eureka moment in a dream - I mean, aren't you the writer, director and actor?) and one of the judges heard me, came over, checked my items and finally declared me the winner. There was a huge parade, and on the final float was JK Rowling, who personally handed me a copy of Deathly Hallows.
And right then, of course, I woke up. Argh!

Also, have you seen the promo pictures for the play Radcliffe is in? Holy hotness!

Oh, Radcliffe. Thank god he's marginally legal. See icon.
