The bird sez--

About a month ago there was a thread which dealt with a very similar 
theme.  It was started by darkthirty, in post #43358 "Abstemiousness 
with the Truth..."  Here is a brief quote from that first post:

"The so-called magical world of Harry Potter is, on one level, on 
perhaps the most fundamental level, unequivocally nothing more than 
the extended fantasy-world of an abused boy stuck in a 
closet. ...Whether the boy is in fact adopted, or is imagining that 
he is adopted, taken from his so-called real parents, whether he 
attends a regular school or isn't even allowed to do that, it is his 
fantasy world to which we are exposed."

This post prompted a great deal of lively and thoughtful discussion.  
You might want to read all of it and see how it fits (or doesn't fit) 
with your theory.

argue with the logic.
