Just to clarify. By saying Rowling's books are traps for moralistic
interpretation, and that she doesn't concern herself with morals or
the moralistic in the slightest, I am praising her. I have no
problems with DISHWASHERS or the like. It is the Rocky Horror Picture
Show WWF school of interpretation that I reject. Or rather, I
attribute such criticisms as, say, Byatt has made against the books,
to that kind of so-called fandom, which is, in one sense, a rejection
of a good portion of the books themselves. To state it plainly,
regarding certain banal forms of fandom, Byatt is 100% correct.
