Strikes me that some Christians and the Pope dare to take their religion as seriously as Rowling (and a lot of other people) takes the Harry Potter series.
This should be interesting, because I know JK is a bit of a "sacred" cow with many here. IMHO her liberal slip had been showing even before she announced Dumbledore's homosexuality in a concert hall full of children.

But getting back to JK, her success has created a monster of a media whore. She's becoming like Elton John. Another self righteous christian basher.

I hate to burst her bubble (not really but I'm trying to be nice), but I just flat out didn't like her books.
I'll give any book a try, but if it doesn't grab my attention in the first three chapters, forget it.
