pegkerr: (You do not look evil)
A nice little article covering the general outlines of the argument over morality of the Harry Potter books, and comparing the arguments raised in the controversy to the points that Christian apologists make when extolling Tolkien. Albanes the Annoying comes up again, and the notorious Onion article (really, when are the fundamentalists going to twig to the fact that that "article" was a parody?) Note: if you can't read the article because it tells you that you need to register, go to http://bugmenot.com to get a login.
pegkerr: (Is nothing safe?)
Another article re: attitudes toward magic in Tolkien vs. other fantasy stories, including the Arthurian and other, later fantasy writers ([livejournal.com profile] naomikritzer, you're mentioned in passing at the end).
pegkerr: (leaf on white)
Howard Shore will be there, but won't be conducting. Shoot. We'll be going to the Q&A beforehand, but due to budget constraints, I don't plan to attend the reception afterwards, although I wanted to.
