Harry Potter: Anti-American clarification

[laurenmcoakley]

Hello All,

I have never received such a response to anything I have written on 
here before!  I just want to clarify that I am an ABSOLUTE lover of 
the Harry Potter franchise- books, films, actors, whatever- you name 
it, I love it.  (I wouldn't belong to this group and a few others, 
wouldn't have had a Harry Potter Party the night the film opened, and 
then took the group to see it at midnight!!)  It never had occured to 
me that JK Rowling or Harry Potter could be Anti-american prior to 
this conversation with my brother in law.  And while I wholeheartedly 
disagree with him, I don't know much about this debate, and was just 
looking to the group for some facts to throw in his face.  I really 
didn't mean to be offensive to anyone involved in the magical world of 
Harry Potter.  We are all passionate about Harry here- no doubt about 
that!!

Lauren
