Oh, those shoes are a darling. I would have gotten them too. :)

I've heard a little about the outburst on Breaking Dawn. I haven't read the series - the central theme has not struck me as appealing ... high school romance rarely rang true to me because I didn't have any and is bitter :D. I like HP because of the larger themes of war and social injustice; the romance is like icing on the cake, or broccoli beside the steak depends on which pairing one ships :) .. that said, I may still pick Twilight up and some point just to read for fun - I do feel bad for the readers who're disappointed by the ending, and I am thankful for JKR rounding up HP nicely, at least, to me :).
