Oh? I have seen very little on this list that would support this. As a matter 
of fact, Kimball's post is the only one I recall that wasn't in support of 
HP. (But that doesn't really mean anything, as I often get behind, and have 
to just start deleting e-mails.)

The reason I didn't post a longer response is that what I would have said has 
already been said by others (morality isn't black and white, grammar evolves, 
Fred and George were just kidding, Harry didn't want to use the Stone, etc.) 
I didn't think the mods would appreciate me basically restating what others 
had said, so I posted the only thoughts I had on the subject that weren't 
already duplicated. 

Debating the literary merit of the HP series is great, but from the tone of 
Kimball's e-mail, I didn't come to the conclusion that he is a fan. As a 
matter of fact, I got the sneaking suspicion that he came on here merely to 
show us how "dumb" we are for liking HP so much.
