Media reaction to OoP

This article by Victoria Coren on the Observer website really chimed 
with me, so I thought I'd share:

Quote:

"Grown-ups divide into two kinds of people: those who wish they
were still six, and those who wish they were still 16."

The implication being that the HP-cynics basically want to relive the 
time when people are more concerned with being cool than having fun. 
Yay!  I'd *much* rather be playing make-believe than worrying about 
the latest gadget. :-)


I've been having fun looking at reviews, too.  The best (worst?) was 
the one that said something along the lines of:

'At the end we find out Voldemort's first name, which is rather like 
finding out that Satan's first name is Derek.'

Very witty, but in a country in which one book was sold for every 28 
people on the release date alone, you'd think they could find a 
reviewer who had actually read the previous books...
