Indeed, I don't, and HP is one of the few 'world literature' books I
read. I read juvenile fiction and Judaica novels, which eschew boy/girl
things and concentrate on suspense, thrills, and family matters.


As for me writing about the 'zero sexual innuendo', read further on my
original post. I wrote: GoF does have some things I found objectionable,
including: Uranus, Molly snaping at Ron to go naked to the party, Harry
'bending his legs' so that Myrtle doesn't see 'anything' and Archie
wanting a breeze around his.... whatever. The first three books, I could
give a third grader to read. GoF... Dunno!
