Yes, the first Harry Potter book in particular has a Dahl-ish feeling. She settles into her stride more in the second book. Heh, I'm a fan and I still don't understand how she's made a billion dollars off Harry. Especially since the kid is, well, not the world's greatest hero... he's a little boring.


Heh, but I do love those books. Have been at midnight parties for the last two, in costume, and after Tolkien my best trivia area. (Want to know Harry's mother's maiden name? Explanations of the signifigance of various names [any strange name is signifigant.]? The rules of Quidditch or the colors of the houses? I'm the girl...)

I LIKE Dahl...so that isn't a bad thing anyway.

So far Hagrid is my favorite character, besides Harry, I guess. Cool entrance.
