  Todays Washington Post has a letter from a reader in Arlington, VA, 
  in response to the Post article last week about Nancy Stouffer.  This 
  idiot goes on about how although she likes the HP books, there are a 
  lot of similarities between them and other books she has read, which 
  "makes her think".  The similarities she points to are pretty vague.  
  In a book called  "The Mystery of the Lost Village", there is a 
  reporter named Rita Neville who follows the hero around and bothers 
  him.  In another book, "Wizard's Hall" the main character called 
  Henry goes to a wizards school and a magical object sort of like the 
  sorting hat looks into his personality.

  There are lots of books about kid witches and wizards and in some 
  they go to school.  And there are lots of people named Rita and 
  Neville and lots of books with annoying reporters in them.  For the 
  Post to actually publish this stupid letter is ridiculous!  Anyway 
  the URL is:

  Someone should write to the Post and complain about them giving voice 
  to any old anti-HP fruitloop who crawls out of the woodwork.  I would 
  do it myself, but I promised myself that I would not write letters to 
  the editor about anything unless it directly concerned my 
  professional field, as I run the danger of becoming one of those 
  crazy, cackling old curmudgeons who do nothing but write letters to 
  the editor all day long.

    "How come the Muggles don't hear the bus?" said Harry.
    "Them!" said Stan contemptuously.  "Don't listen properly, do 
  they?  Don't look properly either.  Never notice nuffink, they don'."
