5. Brilliant reply. I read her series as an expose of fascism & totalitarianism & and how to resist...

How even children and teenagers can resist. When I read the books to my grandson, we talked about the different themes and when we got to the Order of the Phoenix, that was on the menu, believe me. He was pretty young then -- now he's 13 and I wish he would reread the final books for himself, particularly since Donald Trump is now Potus

The person (or people, probably quite a few) who think Rowling was writing twee fables for little folks are fools.

6. I am currently reading and enjoying the Cormoran Strike trilogy

she wrote under the pen name Robert Galbraith. And, of course, loved the Harry Potter books!

7. "Every supporter of Trump should buy a complete new set of Harry Potter books,

direct from the publisher, to burn! Or be best! and buy one complete new set of Harry Potter books, direct from the publisher, for every member of your extended family, to burn! For extra punch, invite the press, wear brown shirts, hold a big Tiki torch rally, and build a big bonfire!"
