Dear Chris
Potter’s fifth escapade is good; a reminder of that dawky angry adolescence that every boy cannot exscape from, even if u happen to be a wizard. Have you heard or read A S Byatt’s comments about the novel. According to our papers the comments have split the reading world on two! people pro potter and the anti potter crowd who long for the numinous world of Tolkien of Garner of Susan Cooper, all of whom may conjure more substantial ideas and historic links. Even if this is the case - which i agree with - Byatt i feel has forgotten the drive to escape from a current world living on the brink if terror and madness and a young world who are sick of reading reality as it is meant to be, according to those pc idealists who believe the mimetic art of the novel should run the gammit of drugs to drugs. I just wish Hermione was a better crafted character. look forward to Potter’s outing in the seventh book (check fifth book and his first date for possible futures). Have fun in the place where 9 and3/4 could be a reality
love tom
