Just another "college kid" here, chiming in:
What do you think there are high school and college literature classes
focusing on fiction for?? I don't think my school is revolutionary in
promoting this idea, but isn't the point of those classes to analyze
books? The idea I have gotten from evey lit. class I have ever taken
is books are something to analyze, just like music. And it's fun and
interesting to see things in books that may not even be there, but it
ADDS TO your enjoyment of the book. So, my point is, if you want to
just see the books for what is on the surface, but don't put down other
people's enjoyment of a deep discussion.
On a HP related topic, I had thought of the Pepsi girl for Hermione,
too and thought I was crazy. But the "bushy hair" references just keep
relating them together.
I also have an idea for Lily. Helen Baxendale. For all of you felllow
Americans who may not know the name, she played Emily on Friends.
Any thoughts?
