Onion on Potter phenomenon

[Philip Nel]

No: HPFGUIDX 31298

Dear all:

OK, it's not as funny as "Harry Potter Books Spark Rise in Satanism Among Children" (Onion, July 2000), but it may amuse you nonetheless: "Children, Creepy Middle-Aged Weirdos Swept up in Harry Potter Craze" <http://www.theonion.com/onion3744/harry_potter_craze.html> (Onion, 5 Dec. 2001).  I should add, here, for any who are not readers of The Onion: (1) It's a parody newspaper, and (2) you may find some of its humor in questionable taste.  (So, if you find this particular piece not to your liking, then I apologize in advance.)

Enjoy,

Phil
