Harry Potter: Anti-American?

[laurenmcoakley]

Hello All,

I had an interesting conversation with my brother-in-law the other day 
that really got me thinking.  He says he feels JK Rowling is Anti-
American because American actors are not allowed to be in the films.  
Also, he noted there were no American characters.  Anyway, I can't see 
why that would be, and I'm sure someone out there has a logical reason 
for me.  

Also- please forgive me if this has already been discussed, as I am 
relatively new to this group.

Thanks, 
Lauren
