montims:
You know, it's because we've all had too much time to analyse and reread and
analyse again that we are in this predicament...  Future new readers will
just work their way through all 7 books, or not, much as someone would read
the Narnia books or LOTR today, reading each once only to begin with, before
reaching the denouement or putting the series aside.  They will miss the
minutiae that we encounter through constant reading and guesswork, and just
take in the overall story and character transmitted by the author.  I'm
sure...
