Yeah? So?

Is there any special reason you obsessively typed in several dozen random passages from the book?

It's hard to tell just *what* in the heck you think you're trying to prove here, especially when one of your "examples" is a *singing valentine*. Oooh, horrors!

Yeah, magic happens in the book. Ooh, big surprise! And a big whoop-de-doo.

Look, if you're one of those nancies who thinks that any mention at all of "magic", even clearly fictional, playfully presented magic, is somehow *EVIL!*(tm), then fine, we get it, you're not going to like Harry Potter, or Lord of the Rings, or the Wizard of Oz, Macbeth, the Odyssey, or a lot of other classics. Good for you, go off and enjoy your fringe opinion.

But if you think that most of the rest of us are going to fall quivering to our knees because you merely quote a book that mentions werewolves and magic wands, you're sadly mistaken.

I have yet to read any anti-Potter review (including the one that started this thread) that didn't strike me as either the work of someone who hadn't even bothered to actually read the books...

Let's see, first you slam people for not reading the book, then when they type in passages from the book to make their points, you call them obsessive. Sounds like you've got it all sewn up.
