Hello,

This is the first time I've posted and I've enjoyed lurking in order to get
an idea of the group.  I'm glad I found the group before book #5 comes out
so that I'll be up on all the ins and outs of the various plots and be able
to discuss the book more lucidly.

My favorite detail is in the GoF when Ron blurts out that Hermione is a girl
and she responds acidly, "Oh well spotted."  Cracks me up everytime.

This is in line with how JKR is dealing with the sexuality issue in the HP
books.  She does it naturally.  What is refreshing is there is no hype and
no over sexualizing of the characters.  There was a bit of hype with the
media in that it was always noted that "Harry will be interested in a girl"
but JKR handled it in a rather normal way for kids of this age which, to me,
is epitomized in this exchange between Ron and Hermione.

Hoping to add to further discussions.

Beverly (whose favorite character is Mrs. Weasley but is wondering why she
was cold to Hermione after Rita Skeeter's article about a love triangle
between Hermione, Harry, and Victor Krum.  Surely she doesn't actually
believe that trash!)
