An acquaintance writes the following about J.K. Rowling. He says she isn't a freak, as portrayed by the media. I have no opinion on the subject, but I found this interesting.
"She is a member of the Church of Scotland (the Scottish Anglican Church-- not the Presbyterian church). She refuses to reveal more of her Christian faith than that because, she says, it would give away too much of book 7 (to me that is very intriguing). Her favorite poem is "The Boy Who Ran Away From His Nurse and got Eaten by a Lion," by Hilaire Belloc. She also is a member of the English Chesterton Society. She is educated in both Latin and Greek and is well versed in the canon of classic Western literature. Besides Chesterton and Belloc, some of her favorite authors are Dickens and Jane Austen."

That is very interesting. I have never read a Harry Potter book. I only saw a little of the first Harry Potter movie also. I love Tolkien and Lewis but I am not a "fantasy" person so to speak.
I always check your blog and a lot of times link to it from mine.
