I'm sure that's just hyperbole.  The writer probably only wanted to make a
point, and make it dramatically.  There's really no way that cheerleaders
could have been integrated into Harry Potter.  For heaven's sake, he's 11!

(Either that, or my view of Spielberg is horribly skewed.  I _really_ hope
that's not so)
