Geoff:
Well, after noting Goddlefrood's superb comment about shooting 
and returning to your post, I do care that "herself" is a Christian 
and I think there are a large number of group members who would 
agree with me.

JKR is in the same group of writers as Tolkien and Lewis in that her 
faith has influenced the way in which she has developed the story 
and its outcomes and I, as a Christian, appreciate that. Without that 
input, Harry could have had a very different story to tell. I, too, read 
the books because I like them. Simple.

I appreciate that you are fully within your rights to express your 
own view - as am I - but, in passing,  I feel that you may be guilty 
of breaching the group rules of etiquette (Section 2.1) in your choice 
of language to express yourself.
