Yeahhhh, I definitely need to start watching TVD. Maybe after I get a little more settled in The L Word and finish season 1 of Community.
You should. I personally find it FAR superior to TB. That said, I must warn you that the opening episodes are rather rocky - at least watch episode six before deciding to give it a pass (and it only gets better from six on).
I couldn't even define why I liked it so much at the time, but it was just such a, "YES!" moment when they came down to the ball together.
It was a total YES moment. I think because it's a fantasy that is super-primal to a lot of girls - that you can be the smart, non-veela girl and the famous Quiddich player is going to pick YOU and then if you make the effort you can be just as pretty as the pretty girls.
That all being said, it's really striking me, as I reread the HP series, how amazing the worldbuilding is.
Agreed. The world-building is what Rowling really excels at and I think that's one of the reasons that it was not only so popular but had SUCH a massive fandom.
I mean, there's a reason a whole bunch of kids from my generation were really disappointed on their 11th birthdays,
