Potioncat:
Such book discussions have happened in the past---before my time. It 
seems that one of them was being revived, but I'm not sure what came 
of it. Are there any current books-about-Harry-Potter?

For that matter, would it be of any interest to go over Quidditch 
through the Ages or Fantastic Beasts? (Remember Dumbledore's forward 
and the theories that one generated?)

My original thought was that discussions about resources would help 
all of us. Sometimes they generate their own thread. I remember once 
quoting the Lexicon, and having that start a thread about whether the 
Lexicon had it right.

I was looking for the essay section the other day---I couldn't 
remember if it was at HPfGU or at the Lexicon---but I never did find 
it. (Alla, where do you find the Elkins posts? I'm looking for 
Porphyria's "Snape as the Satan.") But I'm sure lots of list members 
have no idea those articles are out there. 

What is the general feeling? Would discussions about other books or 
resources be considered OT, or would they be appropriate for the main 
list?
