Sexual innuendo? I've read every single book at least twice (except the new one -- I've only read it once so far) and there's no sexual innuendo at all.

It's possible that I'm too jaded to see it, but I'd love to know what those reviewers considered "sexual innuendo."

Its setting in a British boarding school isn't enough?

I meant in the movies, not the books. Here's a bit from the Kids in Mind movie reviews: "A woman begins to take off her clothes in a large crowd of people, she turns invisible, we see her bra and panties, and then she becomes visible (men ogle her and she tries to cover herself up). A man walks into a bathroom where a woman is stepping out of the shower and she quickly covers herself with a towel (bare shoulders are visible). Several women wear low-cut, short tops and short skirts that reveal cleavage, bare abdomens and bare legs, a woman wears a low-cut, short negligee that reveals cleavage and bare legs, and a woman wears low-cut tops that reveal cleavage in many scenes. ► A man in flames snowboards over a cliff, crashes into a snowdrift, we see him in a pool of water with no clothes (we see his bare chest) and he asks a woman to join him. ► A nurse says, "you're hot" to a man while taking his temperature and the man says, "thank you, so are you." A man asks another man, "where's your hot sister?" A woman asks "...he can expand 'any' part of his anatomy?" A man says of another man "I think he's a bit limp." ► A visually impaired woman touches a genetically altered man to "see" him -- the man closes his eyes and moans. ► Two men propose to a woman. Two men talk about a romantic relationship between one man's sister and another man."

OTOH, if you consider "wand" to be a double-entendre, the books become far more funny (from a purely juvenile sense) to read.

Her post was in reply to a previous post asking what was wrong with the movie, Fantastic 4. It had nothing to do with HP.
