Heretical Thoughts

[poliphilo]

I've seen a couple of the Potter films- they're fun.

But I don't feel particularly drawn to those characters or that world. Maybe it's because I went to a boarding school- and have no wish to go back- not even in my imagination.

And life is too short for 600 page books- unless they're by Dickens.

Besides you guys can keep me abreast of what's happening. **********'s dead- right?

I enjoyed the movies, but I didn't find them particularly involving. It was a case of, well, that was an entertaining three hours, now lets go do something else. There's nothing about any of the characters that grabs me.

There are worlds of the imagination I yearn for- when I was a kid there were Alice's Wonderland and Mowgli's jungle. More recently Philip Pullman's alternative universe pulled me in, but Hogwarts just doesn't have that effect.
