29 September 1997.
Do you ever wake up and just realize something? A problem who's solution will suddenly become clear. Or simply seeing something for what it was all along, I am getting to the point of this entry, I swear I am. Basically the fact is that when I woke up today and started picking apart a particularly odd nightmare in which I was Pip from Great Expectations - I came to the realization that Hogwarts has become a bit like the bad parts of a Dickens novel. By 'bad' I mean the parts the character doesn't enjoy, like the beginning of Oliver Twist when he wants more supper and gets none. I don't care for Charles Dickens so this is a bit depressing. Was no one else forced to read the man's novels as a child? I don't want Hogwarts to become Dickensian, this must stop.
