The Boy Who Lived Grows Up
http://harrypotter.warnerbros.com/harryp…
There’s a reason why J.M. Barrie made Peter Pan the boy who would not grow up. J.K. Rowling has managed to give us a hero who ages with his fan base. But with the time lag between novel and film, has Harry grown up too slowly for the first generation of HP addicts and too fast for the next generation?
Here’s an outstanding article about Harry Potter vs. Twilight from WSJ’s Lauren Schuker.

I read this article too—very astute analysis. I think it’s hard to overestimate the appeal of a chaste vampire. I wish the piece had been titled “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood-Drinking Prince.”

Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it.

Random question: I know you are using wordpress for this blog, but have you tried any other platforms. I am trying to decide for my blog? and I ask because I like yours.
