SO Harry Potter is "reading material"? Or "re reading material"?

Read PS yesterday. Only 4 books (assuming I can count books 4 and 5 as single books in comparison to 2 and 3) to go.

He was one of the founders of Rome, you know those two babies that were suckled by the wolf and became...the founders of Rome? There's a statue of the wolf standing, while the two babies kneel and suckle underneath her. Romulus was one of them, wasn't he?

Yep. There's been speculation that Remus has a brother (Romulus), but I read somewhere that Rowling denied this.

Have any of you read any of the HP guides (related books)?
I bought "The Magical Worlds of Harry Potter" - D.Colbert (released after OotP) its pretty interesting- lots of facts etc..

I saw another related book it was something like $60 (I'm too much of a tight ass for that kinda thing).. Its the one that was released before OotP. < so it has "book five secrets" :rolleyes:

My sisters borrowed some of them from the library and I had a look at the one for Order of the Pheonix. It only gave hints, not straight clues, and you had to figure out the rest.
Kind of annoying for someone who spends what little brain power they can spare on the HSC.
