Hello, I remember Ray, you were pondering why Rowling's Potter is much more successful than Magician. I think I have found a possible answer while reading Carl Gustav Jung's Psychology of the unconscious. He is writing:
"Faust has need of the phallic magic wand (in the magic strength of which he has at first no confidence), in order to perform the greatest of wonders, namely, the creation of Paris and Helen." H.Potter is using a fallic symbol, it focuses the libido and is a hidden symbol for young people who are attracted to it through this. Suble sexuality is also in the Meyer's New Moon book which she admitted in the interview I heard in the radio and she knew it will attrack young girls to read. Maybe it is total crap but I had to say it :) P
