This is just in time for the now-15-year-old Harry to return to face his first kiss and his first date with emotional wreck Cho Chang. Harry embarrassedly debriefs best friends Hermione and Ron afterwards: “She was the one who started it. I wouldn’t’ve—she just sort of came at me—and next thing she’s crying all over me.” Here, five years into Harry’s adventures at Hogwarts, he finally faces one of the challenges that...

But since returning to Taipei from Shanghai on April 30, he's had more than enough time to reacquaint himself with the inside of his house. Chang's quick trip, necessary mainly to sign a business contract, ran smack into Taiwan's mandatory 10-day quarantine for Taiwanese travelers returning from places hit by SARS. Chang has been forced to count the flowers on his wallpaper while he serves his sentence. "All I can do at home...
