ME (Susan) here: I don't get this remark. These are HER books; she can
write them any way she chooses! And the populace can decide whether
to read them or not. She "owes" no one anything.

ME (Susan) here: This next comment isn't necessarily directed at you, but I
am getting a little tired of the slams on Christians. "Christians"
are a huge group, and not an especially homogenous one. I am one,
but I posted earlier about how I believe JKR's books can "work"
within all kinds of frameworks--Christian, Good vs. Evil, no god or
dogma, etc. I *won't* be upset if we get to the end and she says
nothing overt about Christianity. In fact, I think that's part of
the beauty of her works--that they can be happily interpreted through
so many different worldviews.
