Hellsing and Harry Potter

Volume 8 of the former and the infamous volume 7 of the latter. I was tempted to make the trek to the Borders in Burlington, clad as Harry Dresden, but I neglected to carve myself a wizard's staff, and there was no way I could scare up a hockey stick quickly, so I just opted to go as myself. Drat that Harry Potter for gumming up Borders' orders, since Hellsing 8 came out on the 4th, but it didn't show up on the shelves until now, since the system got gummed up due to DH's presence. Getting both books on the same day as well as the 40% discount on DH (with your Borders Rewards card -- and that's cheaper than I would have paid at the store where I work) more than makes up for that little glitch.

I haven't started reading DH yet: I've got housework to take care of, plus I really need to start typing "A Woman with an Issue of Blood" and start sending that the rounds of the magazine editors.

Of course the subject line of this post got me thinking, "Hm. Alucard vs. Harry Potter. Who would win?" I think that's a moot point.
