Harry Potter and The Meaning of Life. Gary Deane spotted Harry Potter and The Meaning of Life that examines whats behind this Potte-rmania. The author says since it began, Potter-mania has represented a cultural infantilism that only grows as the years go by. It is about what we expect from our kids, our books, our value system, and ourselves. Whatever happens in The Order of the Phoenix, the story of our obsession with Harry Potter is unlikely to have a happy ending. [LISNews.com]

I wanted to say, "Lighten up!" The essay is a fun read, however.
