I always remember casually flicking through this book **warning - rude word in title** and chuckling to myself when I read the description of HP as "a public school conjurer".
Don't get me wrong - it's a great series for children, and I'm sure I'd have loved it when I was 9 or 10 but why oh why oh why do people keep insisting that I try it, when I'm at the ripe old age of "not much past 29".
And the other thing that annoys me (easily annoyed - moi?), is the ridiculous pantomime that poor booksellers have to go to in order to give the book away at a loss.
And another thing
I understand they'll be giving out surgical hoists with the next one.

I have to disagree on the HP front as 'I'm wild about Harry' even at the age of 40 something.
I did pick the first one up to see what all the fuss was about and I was soon hooked. Both my children read them as soon as they come out and they love the films. I'm sure we'll be fighting over the new one shortly. I will of course borrow it from my local library (NOT). Actually I will probably buy it from Tesco's although I did get the last one from Kwik Save at a bargain and obviously loss leading £4.95!
