When I first saw "Sirius" satellite radio with dog as his icon..that too when I was peaking with Harry Potter books...it immediately strike Harry's God father..
And the brand goes with dog..which was the patronus of Sirius Black in Harry Potter...
Sirius also known as "Dog Star" is a brightest star in the night time belonging to Canis Major..
Sirius.. Satellite Radio..Harry's God father..."Dog Star"..
I like Harry's Godfather..

Harry Potter..Still open..
I have never felt the release of any kind of movie or book...I am not a kind of person who rushes for the book on its release and lock myself to complete on the same day..
I felt everything has it own exceptions, so does the Harry's seventh book. I didn't do any pre-order which I intended to do. I thought I would get the same book from library later this week and complete it. I dont want to hear from some one or from news source to let out, this is the final story and blow up the grand finale..
Got up around 12:00 noon, decided to get the book from nearby Barnes and Nobles. We did the groceries, weekly movie DVD exchange and got the book.
Started to read the book around 5:00 pm and halted bit to do my turn of cooking, Vegetable Kuruma. After having my early dinner, get on to book around 9:00 pm again after a 2 hour refresher.
I did not browse the net or check my mails or any of the forums...kept myself tight..
I did completed the book an hour ago..I felt it was a good read..opening up lot of questions...
PS : If anyone wants the book within US, I could ship the book. I can also give my address so you could return it back after your reading and research.. :-)
