Why yes, my dear Riya. I am very fond of the whole series - a sort of combination of Enid Blyton's school stories and Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings - and though I am not a sentimental person, I was in tears over The Prince's Tale in Book 7.

I came to Harry Potter with The Goblet of Fire, and of course I had to get the other three books and read them in the proper order. When Book 6, The Half Blood Prince, came out in early 2006, I actually went to the largest bookstore in Ottawa - I was then the Indian High Commissioner to Canada - at midnight on the day of the release, queued up, bought my copy and watched the delighted kids in Potter costumes having so much fun.

I also used to watch the first three Harry Potter movies along with the three parts of Peter Jackson's LOTR series, in November-December each year for three years in succession.

A patronus does not last endlessly in real life. It is a temporary phenomenon.

And as for Pegasus, he was a child of Poseidon, the sea god, and his mother was the Gorgon Medusa. Poor Bucephalus, they did say he was very wild as a young stallion, but I would not wish this kind of parentage on him!πŸ˜†

Zeus only turned the winged horse eventually into the Pegasus constellation.

Pegasus was created by Poseidon but I have read that Zeus had an entire stable at Olympus filled with the Pegasi...

Really? That is very interesting. What were the Pegasi? Duplicates of Pegasus or his children?

Now I am Really going to bed!πŸ˜†

Ahh LOTR... my another fav...Feeling like reading those books again... those were some different golden days, (without E books and online sites)... rushing to the Book fairs at the new year and grabbing new books from each of the stalls and smelling the scent...feeling nostalgic... HP and LOTR always brings me back to those days

I was introduced to Harry Potter from the first film actually.. I was at a very tender age then... on the next year as soon as I visited in Book Fair the first thing I did was to purchase all first three harry potter books till the date...πŸ˜†...

and yes... most of the people I talked.. and my fellow potter fans... we all somehow agree on the Prince's tales part...some people might have doubted correctly about Snape's true Loyalty but the back story was something which always caught u at vulnerable moment...

As per the myths, Pegasus does go to Zeus where Zeus keeps him with his other horses and assigns him the duty of bringing his thunderbolt...loll maybe the Pegasi maybe his offsprings...Greek/ Roman mythology is complicated enough for me to know all the details πŸ˜†πŸ˜†
