HT I hated Harry Potter, I thought the whole affair with people on line at the book store was goofy. Just more American's going out on the Cabage Patch bandwagon (reference to a toy and the 80s).
Then I read one as a promise to an old girl friend. Book 4 was already out. So I started reading it and ......
..... um.....
Damn I love it. Now I am one of those going to the movie on opening nights to see all the people dressed up. I really is a wonderfull story. Part of me wishes it stayed more child like and less dark. Those last two books are dark and excellent stories. The ending of the last movie was also excellent in a dark and sinister way.
To children these events must be like the spider and the orcs in Lord of the Rings... another story read by children. To me, it's just my fellow Slytheryn.
