Hi all,

This may not seem as relervent, but in many boys and girls fanrtasies, we dream of living in a house full of secrets, such as secret passages, romms, etc.  Now Hogwarts is pretty much wish fulfulment as far as that is concerned and playing 'hunt the common room' could be a part of hogwarts as much as learning.

  From an UK perspective the House system at Hogwarts sounds much more 
  like the (sterotypes?) of the Greek Letter fraternities at US 
  colleges than the House system as it survives in (some) British 
  schools. 

  The US Fraternites are standard horror stories by the way for any 
  Europeans wanting to claim cultural superority over the USA.

  In The case of our books I suspect that dramatic devises helpful for 
  early stories will prsent continuity problems in later stories.
