It not just sensitivities, but publishers and Warner Brothers that we must 
worry about.  How much will they try to influence Rowlings?  What if 
Rowlings' plans for the books were felt to be too intense for the younger 
audience?  Will she be presured to keep everything at a PG level?  Bottom 
line now is unfortunately the mighty dollar.
