Kneasy, I love reading your posts. Sometimes I agree, sometimes
not. You make me shake my head, laugh and sometimes wish I knew you
in another life. But on this one, I have to speak out. There are
more than 11,000 of us on this list alone. We've read and re-read
the books. We've analyzed and scrutinized every word of text. We've
inferred and conferred. Perhaps it's all too much. We've discovered
mistakes/Flints in characters, math, spells, etc. Isn't it just a
bit like American celebrity? With so large of a magnifying glass,
can anyone/anything emerge worthy? We've put JKR's work on a mighty
pedestal. Is there an ending or series of explanations that would
satisfy us all after we've dissected it with our usual vigor?
Perhaps we've delved too deeply. What if it ultimately ends up being
just a great children's tale? That's ok with me. I'm great at
willful suspension of disbelief.
Tcy, who is going back to lurking to ready herself for the barrage of
howlers for this bit of sacrilege.
