Interesting that no byline is given for the Guardian piece, though it's told quite personally. There's a fair amount about Pullman on the web; I printed out some of it when I was thinking about writing about him. You non-Yanks might be interested to know that early Harry Potter reviews are dribbling in (it opens Friday), none of them entirely complimentary. One complains that the Quidditch game whizzes around so fast that he can't follow the play. Alan Rickman (Snape) apparently steals every scene he's in--of course he's good at that, and you need a good Snape. -alga --- ### Michael Straight *16 Nov 2001, 13:23 · follows Alice Turner* > On Thu, 15 Nov 2001, Alice Turner wrote: > You non-Yanks might be interested to know that early Harry Potter reviews > are dribbling in (it opens Friday), none of them entirely complimentary.

I was under the impression that Qudditch is a caractature of sports by someone who doesn't like them. -Rostrum ---
