[stylist] Harry Potter

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Eve and others,

No coincidence  at all. The depth to which Rowling took her series is
mind boggling once you research it. There were quite a few things I was
aware of when reading the series that I recognized from history or
literature, but when I took that class, I was astounded to learn just
how deep HP is rooted in historical and literary references. It goes so
much deeper than the names, than witchcraft, than magic. It's a comment
on how intelligent Rowling is, and the magnitude of this work is truly
commendable. What seems like recognizable references quickly become jus
the surface of what she did.

And also, her neighbors could have been a part of that famous family.
;)  Seriously though, if you look in the Encyclopedia of Witchcraft, you
will find many names that also appear in the Harry Potter books.
Coincidence? I think not.
