"You are the handmaiden of Satan, a succubus from the pit of Hell." Any chance I could get that on a bumper sticker?

This author makes a good point - one that I've been making over and over again on the "Harry Potter is a Tool of Satan" threads.
The "magic" in the HP books isn't Wiccan or any other kind of magic practiced by real people. It's fairy tale stuff - and no more to be believed than fairy tales.
Kids do go through a stage when they wish a story were true - my best friend and I as 7 or 8 year olds kept opening closet doors hoping we would find Narnia inside. (But we always remembered, as Lewis perpetually reminds his readers in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, that "it is a very foolish thing to shut oneself into a wardrobe.") :-D

I read the fifth book over the weekend. IMHO it's not on a par with the other four, but still quite good. It's a much darker story, and I think she's pretty much nailed the mindset of a socially awkward 15-yo boy....
I think the problem with HP5 is that she just finally had to finish it. The sixth book is gonna have to tie up some loose ends from this one.

CAP Alert guy doesn't think much of Harry.
Can I get one saying I'm like a "butler" of Satan of something? I'd look horrible in a "handmaidens" outfit.

"You are the handmaiden of Satan, a succubus from the pit of Hell." Sounds like Hillary.

Oooh, good point.
Thanks to repeated viewings of The Ten Commandments, I'm trying to figure out if Moses did indeed wear a wristwatch.

The sixth book is gonna have to tie up some loose ends from this one. Which pretty well guarantees that the 6th one will sell too...;-)

"Wonder how long it'll take for the Righteous to show up?"In time to announce the beginning of the Armageddon, brought about as a direct result of reading Harry Potter books.
(On the other hand, I always wished that I could have a genie that looked like Barbara Eden ... as a teenage boy, the opportunities would have appeared limitless!) 8')

In time to announce the beginning of the Armageddon... Speaking of which, how many copies of Armageddon have sold?

My wife and kids actually went to one of the midnight openings (I couldn't -- had to get up early on Friday....)
The kids -- in their own -- worked up costumes for themselves. Middle son already bears a strong resemblance to Mr. Potter, and thus assembled a quiddich costume. Daughter decided to be Moaning Myrtle.
And of all the kids there, youngest son was the only one dressed as Malfoy. It was downright scary to see how much he resembled him....
