Check out John Granger's commentary

[pegkerr]

I'd like to point my reading list John Granger's comments here about the Rowling event at Carnegie Hall. Granger, a Christian apologist who has written extensively about the Harry Potter world, does a good job of taking an especially careful look at the context underlying Rowling's remarks. Edited to add: folk has several objections to some of Granger's definitions, however; see here.

I've previously recommended Granger's book Unlocking Harry Potter: Five Keys for the Serious Reader. I also have found much food for thought at his website, www.hogwartsprofessor.com.

Blast -- I've run out of comment space here, so I've stuck it on my own journal.

In essence: I found that article offensive and pandering to the "it's okay Dumbledore's gay; he wasn't one of those uppity ones asking for rights" type of audience. Oh, and he also suggested that gay people are pedophiles. Nice.

This is my uppity face.
