Mostly Potter-related

Chris: (has just begun reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix to the boys) "...Every day this summer had been the same: the tension, the expectation, the temporary relief, and then mounting tension again..." So, in other words he's a typical teenage boy-
Me: ::muffled snort-laugh::
Boys: What do you mean, Daddy?
Chris: Tell you when you're older. "... and always, growing more insistent all the time, the question of why nothing had happened yet." Yup, totally normal teenage boy.
Me: ::laughing:: Oh, stop it!
Boys: But what do you mean, Daddy?


Also, I'm not sure what some people will make of these two items:

Dumbledore was gay, says 'Potter' author
Quote: Rowling also said she had read through Steve Kloves' script for the movie adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and corrected a passage in which Dumbledore was reminiscing about past loves by crossing it out and scrawling "Dumbledore is gay" over it.


Rowling discusses religion
Quote: Of course the book has Christian images, “almost epitomize the whole series,” Rowling now says. Like, duh!

Yeah, y'know, I'm an atheist and I caught that. Christian themes of forgiveness and redemption and life after death and faith and all that just run through the whole series. Not that they're exclusively Christian themes, but they were pretty bloody obvious. I kinda wondered whenever banning stories were in the air, whether these people would've been trying to ban the Narnia books too in their time.
