Books and literature provide us with a way to escape from the everyday world and into different realms of imagination. They transport us to different times and places, and allow us to explore different cultures and worlds. They also provide insights into the human condition, and can be a source of inspiration and comfort. Books and literature have always been a part of my life. I can remember curled up with a good book on many occasions, whether it was during a rainy day or when I needed a break from reality. I am so grateful for the ability that books have to whisk us away to another time or place, and to teach us something new about the world around us.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - J.K. Rowling - Episode 112 - Buddy Book Club
The Buddies close out J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series with book 7: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It was a sad episode for the Buddies as they finished the last chapter in their favorite book series, and got to talking about: Snape the “good guy”, Unforgivable Curses basically being magical jaywalking, and "kids" fairytales. Per usual, the Buddies got into some conspiracy theories that would make Xenophilius Lovegood look like a mainstream journalist. So grab your wands, brooms, and Deathly Hallows, for the last time and join us on our Harry Potter nostalgic farewell tour.
