It's refreshing to me to hear this kind of talk... In the Oz community
it's the ultimate taboo to suggest that there is anything erotically
appealing about *any* of the Oz characters. And there certainly is a good
amount of sex appeal there, what with all of John Neill's drawings of
Glinda's buxom low necklines, Polychrome's graceful dancing and Ozma's
slinky evening gowns. But the unwritten commandment is "Thou shalt not
lust after an Ozite."

But Harry Potter, as a universe that acknowledges its
adult-with-healthy-hormones constituancy, and doesn't take itself too
seriously anyway (because it isn't governed by a scholarly "priesthood"),
we can talk freely and start "Take it off Sirius!" clubs if we want
to without being called "blasphemous". (Though I'd personally prefer a
"Take it off Madam Rosmerta!" club.) :)
