Saitaina **** Inside my mind that tiny little voice that tells me when I'm being stupid is flipping right out. You do not pin the princess of all of Hyrule up against a wall and threaten her. Unfortunately I have this awful habit of ignoring that little voice . . . http://www.livejournal.com/users/saitaina "No, one day I'm going to look back on all this and plow face-first into a tree because I was looking the wrong bloody way.

Message-ID: The Convention Alley Planning Committee is pleased to announce the creation of the programming schedule for the very first conference devoted to grown-up Harry Potter fans to be held in Canada. This event, sponsored by the Harry Potter for Grown-Ups literary discussion group, will be held at the University of Ottawa in Ottawa, Ontario, from July 30 to August 1, 2004. Convention Alley will feature presentations by fans from both the academic and non-academic worlds. Subjects of discussion include how the series is able to overcome culture-specific limitations to appeal to readers from around the world; J.K. Rowling's transformation of Harry from a fairy tale hero into a resentful teenager in The Order of the Phoenix; and analyses of characters in the Harry Potter series, such as the inscrutable Professor Severus Snape and the traitorous Peter Pettigrew. The complete programming schedule may be found here: http://www.conventionalley.org/programming.html Directed discussion groups and two guest speakers will complement the formal programming sessions. Steve Vander Ark will present the keynote address "The Hidden Message: It's All About Lee Jordan" at Saturday's birthday banquet. His address will discuss some of the problems of overanalyzing the Harry Potter books, and he will offer suggestions on how to distinguish red herrings from true clues. Steve is the creator and editor of the Harry Potter Lexicon website, a comprehensive reference tool on the Potterverse extensively used by both fans and scholars. Dr. Judith Robertson will present "What Happens to Our Wishes: Magical Thinking in Harry Potter" at the Sunday luncheon. Her presentation will focus on the elements in the Harry Potter series that make these books so vividly compelling to young readers. Dr. Robertson is an Associate Professor at the University of Ottawa, and has written over twenty articles and chapters that have appeared in peer-refereed sites in children's literature, English education, curriculum theory and teacher education.

Three and a half weeks of word-whipping later. For those who have checked out the Red Hen Publications site in the past, you might want to take another look. I have just uploaded a complete reworking and reorganization of the Red Hen essay collection regarding the Potterverse. Interpreted according to moi. All the essays have been gone over and updated, some rewritten extensively, the longest and most rambling broken up into single subjects, and everything cross-checked for compliance with new material noted in Phoenix. There are even a few new additions. Much of the new material was discussed first on WIKtT or in the Caf? at witchfics.org, but not all of it, and some of those earlier discussions have been somewhat modified since their original postings. And the whole area has been reorganized. It may be found at: http://www.redhen-publications.com/Potterverse.html Any fanwriter is welcome to use any of the theories posted here, it would be nice if the author mentioned the source, but I won't sulk if they don't. I would only hope that if someone takes a theory to springboard off of and makes noticable modifications that they would mention that their theory is not the same thing as my therory. For those who have not ever visited the Red Hen site; it is a personal hobby site, not a business. There is Harry Potter-related material strewn through the Graphics and Publications areas as well as the essay collection in the Commentary area. I hope that you will find it enjoyable.
