Great blog and information. Harry Potter is on my summer reading list. I'm not so interested in wizards (anymore), but I've been doing a lot of reading on fanfiction, and Harry Potter comes up a lot. It's a fascinating phenomenon , well captured in this article, "Why Heather Can Write" by Henry Jenkins.

Though the chapter with the same title in the book Convergence Culture is longer with more related information.
It's a interesting read for any Potter fan or parent of one.
Anyway, thanks for the blog and info.
