> I don't laugh very easily, but I almost died when I read the Harry Potter condensation on Book-a-Minute. Great spoof of all the religious fundamentalists out there who think the books are satanic. I haven't read the books, but as far as I can tell, they encourage kids to use their imagination and are about good conquering evil...no harm in that as far as I can see. Unfortunately a lot of people have been fed all sorts of garbage by televangelists and such. Whatever happened to thinking for yourself?

From what I've heard about them, I see the Harry Potter books as little fantasy stories involving children their age with special powers and such.

J. K. Rowling could be nothing more than the Roald Dahl of the new millennium.
