Hm.. the heart of the matter & after OOP what drew me in to seek the 
company of other concerned nutters..er, HP readers & critics. Trust 
Joywitch to begin on it early in the club.

I've coded earlier stuff like this to three different places, 
depending on the slant:
1.3.2 narrative style
4.1.1/2/3 Children or adult books/genre, reading level & controversies
4.5 JKR interviews

These ones I would tentatively say are 1.3.2, but with some other 
coding depending on the examples that are quoted.

However, I am happy to add in some more categories if you like, that 
might nail the themes more neatly - what do you suggest ?. NB the 
various theory acronyms hanging around near 1.3.2, which later 
express similar discontent. Also, remember the splendid rants from 
feetmadeofclay back last summer. There will be a lot of this stuff, 
best to anticipate it.

BTW, I have been putting a lot of religious book-banning stuff, and 
the row about taking HP off adult best-seller lists under 4.1 sub-
sections - do other people agree ??
