Oh, please, please, please not "Potterheads". The whole Pothead 
thing might be amusing for about .34 of a second, but no longer. Its 
just not us. If it must be done, and I suspect if we don't do it the 
media will do it for us, I'm for "Potterites". The sound is so much 
better and it suggests much more Potter-esque words...Meteorite, Pre-
Raphealite...Potterite sounds like some odd rare stone. What do you 
get when you add essence of Potterite to an infusion of wormwood? 
Cheers!
