Howdy ALL.
I love HP and the fact that my type can wear robes in public and not
be burnt however there are some things that are missing from her use of
elements in the Houses.
Each element has certain colors and attributes associated with it, as
do each of the houses but these don't necessarily come together correctly.
Earth is green and black and means Fertility and stability, some times
the symbol for this is the snake but I don't think that Slytherin can
be attributed with these things.
Fire is red, yellow and orange and covers the domain of the will. This
works better for Slytherin but is commonly attributed to Gryffindor.
Air is yellow and gold and covers the aspect of creativity, thought,
inspiration and the mind... all Hermionie.
Water is blue and silver and is associated with emotion the only people
in this so far that would be covered by this element are Mrs. Weasly,
Ginny and Hagrid...

I Love JKR and Harry, but she's very Christian writing about some very
Pagan concepts such as; the elements, forgetting the most important one
usually associated with white or purple which is Spirit; the Divination
teacher freaking out about 13 people sitting at a table when 13 happens
to be the common number of people in a Coven and the number of months in
the Pagan year, it's a good number not a bad one and last but not least
the holidays where she has Witches celebrating Christmas and Easter and
not mentioning Halloween as being Pagan New Year and a time for great
celebration and mourning.

I'm sorry if this is not the route for which this topic was meant but
I just had to say this to people who are not in the "community" to get
some feed back.

Thanks Jess
