Magpie:
No, they don't.  There is no book for them because they don't exist.  I 
think I've already said I understand and agree with your point that 
fantasizing about being Harry and actually being him are two different 
things.  I just still don't see how this is supposed to relate to how the 
author chooses to deal with the many situations in canon where there's a 
prize at stake.
