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!!

I apologize for my last post. I had actually gotten through a chat with a  
similar line of questioning shortly before responding to this subject. Needles  
to say the chatter I was debating with was rather obnoxious about inclusion of 
 American actors in everything for some odd reason. I know you didn't mean to 
 offend. When I said it was petty, I did not mean you. I hope you know that.  
Anyway, I hope you received enough info to reason with your  brother-in-law.
