Thanks for posting that link--it's a neat essay. Aside from the 
discussions of the book on lists such as this one, I haven't seen 
many, or really any, written about the Potter books. (that is, other 
than those which simply deal with the fact of their considerable 
commercial success or some one of the various controversies about 
them)
