Harry Potter

I was at Lauren and Laura's apartment today and they were watching a documentary on Harry Potter and the host said the following line (in a completely serious voice) - "In the 7th book, we find out that one beloved character had his own dark secrets, proving that being magical does not make you any less human."

You could tell she was so proud of herself for revealing to the viewing public the deep and previously undiscovered truth that 'being magical does not make you any less human.' What in the world could that possibly mean. Even in a pretend world it doesn't make sense.

Later in the interview, the host asked JK Rowling what she says to the 20-something-year-old fans who have been reading her books for over ten years...she replied, "I say 'Haha, sucker...I'm a flippin' billionaire cause of fools like you. You may want to consider growing up."

At least that's how she would have replied if I had anything to do with it.

You're just jealous because your inner child died (by suicide) years ago. Jesus said come to me as little children... hopefully, for your sake, St. Peter will take some old bitter geezers as well.
