Hi Val,
Galadriel and the White Witch? Egad! The White Witch was evil! Now 
Galadriel wasn't exactly warm in the theatrical release but in the EE 
verions, she showed quite a different side, even with the scarry 
temptation scene, she was much more accessible. In this weird world, 
itseems strong women (evil or no) evoke similar reactions. Don't you 
like the fact that the mythic creatures in HP have real personality? 
The centaurs, Buckbeak, even the Sphinx in the maze (book only, 
sorry!) had a real persona. I get the feeling in Narnia that sometimes 
mythical creatures are devices only. 
Jen D. looking up the mythical creatures in OOTP. Are there any, 
Buckbeak notwithstandin?
