Hi Charles, I couldn't agree with you more. So often times the fanatical position in some peoples minds leaves no room for imagination, posatives, and even humor about things. For example I remember the part in Sorceror's Stone when Harry was in the zoo, and accidently let the snake out of the glass cage, and it picked on good old Dudly. I laughed my rear off when I heard that. In each of the Harry Potter books there were places of humor, love, suspense, etc and there were good things in them that those of the fanatical view will never see. Did anyone think the flying car was funny? I thought it as kind of funny and kind of cool. A fanatical opinion would of course chuck it up to evil magic, wicked wichcraft, and such people were responcible for the inquasition and the countless deaths of so-called whitches in the dark ages.
