various small HP factoids

1.  Has anyone else who lives in the DC area noticed that for the 
last few weeks, the Harry Potter books have mysteriously disappeared 
from the Washington Post Book World Best Seller list?  They have not, 
as far as I can see, started a separate childrens list the way the NY 
Times did - the books are simply gone.  Since it is unlikely that 
people in the DC area have suddently stopped buying HP books, 
something odd seems to be going on.

2.  There have been a number of Harry Potter-related references in 
various comics lately.  The only really funny one that I have seen 
lately is the one in this weeks New Yorker - a little girl is sitting 
next to a bed containing her bleary-eyed and half-asleep parents.  
She is reading out loud from GoF: *Dumbledores eyes twinkled...*

3.  On a recent plane trip to the West Coast, someone in the row 
behind me AND someone in the row in front of me were reading HP 
books.  Both were adults.  (We are everywhere!)
