This is so great, Morag. I can hardly believe you took the time to 
re-read all four books just in order to find all the references to 
socks. Now that´s a true fan. Or did you feed the text into a computer 
and use the "search" option ;-)?

Anyone claiming the HP books are mainly about friendship OR good vs. 
evil OR growing up OR any of this moral stuff we don´t want to hear 
about any more should immediately be forced to read your post (all the 
others should, too).

Lea, who´s wearing a pair of rather thick dark blue woollen socks at 
the moment (what does she want to tell us by that?)
