[HPFGU-OTChatter] Double Fudge and Harry Potter

[golden faile]

I just happen to have picked up a copy of Double Fudge by Judy Blume to read to my kids(we've already been through all of the other fudge books). Fudge is a 5 year old and the story is told by his older brother Peter. It's terribly cute, but the original stories take place in the late 70's early 80's. Imagine my amazement when I got to a part in the book when Fudge was trying to get his brother to guess his best friends name. He says: "He's you know who's cousin."
Pete says: "We've been through this before, Harry Potter isn't real, he's a..."
  But before I could finish Fudge spit on the back of his hands three times. "You said his name out loud? You have to spit or something terrible is going to happen. Hurry!" He spit on the back of his other hand. I don't know why Fudge thinks that you're not supposed to say Harry Potter out loud, but he does. It's some kind of magic he invented. I knew he was too young to listen to the book on tape but Mom and Dad played it anyway driving back from summer vacation.
Me and the kids found this very humorous, since we are big Potter fans and we also listened to the books on tape over the summer. It just goes to show how universal Harry is when even Judy Blume is mentioning him in her books!
