We are such Harry Potter nerds and love every minute of it! Thanks for this excellent post!!!Why Not?

And I'm so glad to discover your blog.<br /><br />One other aspect of reading that JK Rowling greatly influenced was the depth to which her readers learned to approach her series. Beyond elementary kids reading 700-page tomes, it was nothing to see these same kids, and older, dig into researching her mythical allusions and clues hidden in subtext in order to figure out what was going to happen next in the series. Then, they'd write up what was essentially (very long) book reports of their theories and plaster them on the Internet in order to be the first to discover that particular clue or prediction.<br /><br />Amazing!S.P.
