[the_old_crowd] John the Baptist?

Wed Mar 3 01:25:32 UTC 2004

Folks --

I'm taking the liberty of forwarding (most) of this thread to a good friend of mine who is a scholar of the New Testament (I mean, he studies the New Testament, he's not of the New Testament) and one one of our faculty here at Lees-McRae, Ken Craig.  He is also a Potter fan and I think he'll enjoy the discussion.  Not to mention that he might have a few interesting thoughts and I'll certainly share them if I can.

	Okay, here's what I could find quickly. I don't have the full transcript in
	hand, but someone who has access to the archives of the Vancouver Sun could
	maybe do us a huge favor and find it.

	This is from an article in Vancouver Sun:

	HEADLINE `You can lead a fool to a book but you can't make them think': 
	Author has frank words for the religious right 
	BYLINE Max Wyman 
	SOURCE Vancouver Sun 

	Harry, of course, is able to battle supernatural evil with supernatural
	forces of his own, and Rowling is quite clear that she doesn't personally
	believe in that kind of magic -- ``not at! all.'' Is she a Christian? 
	``Yes, I am,'' she says. ``Which seems to offend the religious right far
	worse than if I said I thought there was no God. Every time I've been 
	asked if I believe in God, I've said yes, because I do, but no one ever
	really has gone any more deeply into it than that, and I have to say that
	does suit me, because if I talk too freely about that I think the
	intelligent reader, whether 10 or 60, will be able to guess what's coming in
	the books.'' 

	Hopefully this will be helpful. Like I said, I don't have the full
	transcript in hand, and I would like it 

	Steve

	Well, I didn't realize that was going to the whole Old Crowd group. Don't
	ALL of you pester me now. And if one of you has it handy, save me the
	trouble.

	All the best
	Steve

	Hi, Catherine:

	That's a real quote by Rowling. I have it linked somewhere. I can't remember
	where it's from right off the top of my head. John Granger mentioned it in
	his book and I wondered about it, so I tracked it down. I'll have to check,
	but I'm rather in the midst of a hurricane right now. Do me this favor:
	pester me about it. Seriously. Write me an email every day or so until I get
	a chance to find it. I don't mind the reminder, really I don't. It's
	helpful. 

	Steve

	Hi everyone,

	I've been exchanging e-mails with Mike Gray recently, and just happened 
	to mention JKR's alleged quote regarding the fact that anyone who knows 
	their bible has a pretty good idea about how the series is going to end.

	I've head this mentioned in conjunction with John the Baptist, but I 
	can't remember where - or even, what the theory is.

	Can anyone elucidate (Richard, maybe?) so I can prove to Mike that I'm 
	not on LSD?

	Catherine
