in the midst of HP stuff

[lizardbeth]

Most amusingly, today was Harry Potter Day at kidlet's day camp. Now, he has not read the books or watched the movies, so he has only a bit of idea about them. The camp teachers come up the car, all dressed up in black robes and scarves and stuff, and you should've seen the WTF look on his face. So then they ask, "Are you ready for Harry Potter day?" super-enthusiastically. And he all but rolls his eyes and says with disdain, "I don't watch Harry Potter."

I PRESENT MY SON, THE HIPSTER! ROFL.

Today's camp will either make him want to read it or want nothing to do with it ever again.

I don't dislike the films, but I'm not fannish about them either. I haven't actually seen any past OotP (and I'm not sure I saw all of that). I saw a promo on CBS nightly news for a segment on HP fanfic a few days past, but didn't catch it -- hopefully it wasn't TOO cringeworthy... I really want to know if they interviewed Cassie Clare now that she's a big-time author and all. Someone should.

(in the absence of any HP icon, have some other cool British People)

Yes, Eldest is very much in the camp of "It's really over now, ack!"

For the last, I much recommend Lev Grossman's article that just came out in Time. Awesome, awesome, awesome love for fandom in mainstream media: http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,2081784,00.html
