When the films finally get to "Deathly Hallows," some theater's going to do something along the lines of a week-long Potterfest, I guaran-damn-tee it.

I personally like the books, not only for their content and their quality of story and mythology, but also just out of admiration for what J. K. Rowling has accomplished with it. Rowling is who I as a novelist aspire to become, someone who writes the books they choose to write, how they want to write it, and becomes a success mostly on the power of their own imagination.

Besides, Rowling has rewritten the oldest writing adage ... "Unless your name is Stephen King, you won't become a millionaire by writing." I think it's better stated, "Unless your name is J. K. Rowling and you write about wizards, you won't become a BILLIONAIRE by writing."

I haven't read the 6th or 7th book yet, but have enjoyed the rest so far. I don't think I would consider myself a "Potterhead." I do want to finish reading the series, though, so I can finish what I started when it came out

I think it would be awesome if Quidditch were a real sport..

I like the movies, but my son has read everybook, and seen every movie to date multiple times. I would also like to see QUidditch as a real sport.

Nothing other than to get more press! Or to just thumb her nose at those "Christian" groups that state she promotes witchcraft.

You are more than probably right. Hell, it's never even been mentioned in any of the books. Brassy little rich broad, ain't she

Dumbledore never needed to mention it, but if you read Chapter 35 of DH (King's Cross), it explains a lot of the (shared) admiration he and Grindlewald had for each other...makes sense now.

Get a life, I know!
