<Was there a big response in Sweden to the books and movies? 

Yes and no. LOTR has received a lot more attention than HP, and it's 
really hard to find good HP-paraphernalia in the stores, so I haven't 
actually directly witnessed a lot of HP-interest here. There were 
even seats still available the opening weekend of CoS, wich surprised 
me. However, when the totals came in for the movie, it was at that 
time one of the best opening weekends a movie had ever had in Sweden, 
and I recently read a blurb in the paper that OotP (in english, since 
the translation isn't out yet) had sold more than any Swedish title 
this summer, which is unprecedented. So it seems to be popular 
alright, but it's not quite in the limelight the way it seems to be 
in come other countries.
 
<As for being able to meet up with us, I know that there is a small 
<group of us saving and planning on attending the next nimbus, it 
<would be a perfect place to meet and discuss HP and religion.

Yes. I need to start saving now too. Wonder when we'll know where it 
míght take place next time--or will it be Orlando again?
