'"Don't worry," he said to her in a quiet voice. "'Harry Potter' is like the Beatles' music. It will go on forever."'
I also like the reference to real-life application in terms of Harry Potter and Twilight in the following article: Real-Life Litmus Test: Are you a "Potter" or a "Twilight?"
This all relates to my broader appreciation for the Harry Potter phenomena. I love that hundreds of people could gather (most not knowing the other), dressed to their imagination, and escape for those hours and minutes on an adventure together. For some reason, I think this reflects something of our inner purity and common humanity.
Reminder to self: Post Biblical analysis of Harry Potter in the near future. I told my Christology teacher about it once but he didn't get it. The man knows the Gospels so well; and yet, he admitted that he hadn't read Harry Potter. He promised he would look into it. All I'm going to say is this:
Harry Potter : Neville Longbottom :: Jesus : John the Baptist
