Newbie Intro and Question

*mutters something about the inability to write an OT post late at

Let's try this again . . .

I'm a newbie. *bows* This list was reccomended to me by Heidi. 

I'm here mostly in an attempt to fascilitate my reasearch for my
undergraduate thesis, and as such, I have a quick question.

Critic Anthony Holden has labeled the HP series as belonging to the
'weary tradition' of school novels a la Tom Brown's Schooldays. There
are some startling parallels. The central place of Quidditch, for
example, echoes the central place of Rugby in TBS. Visually the
Quidditch uniforms (and Annie Liebowitz' pics from Vanity Fair) are
striking similar to the 'old' Rugby styled photos--all leather padding
and striped sweaters. I think you can get the picture. Thoughts?
