Some critics of universal access have also said that its implementation will ruin the Houses’ sense of community. Yet Houses already accommodate outsiders who meet for academic and extracurricular activities; they are also effective at establishing community through intramural sports, House e-mail lists, and House-sponsored social events. Extending access by an hour and a half late at night, when House life is least active, would not threaten House communities...

Once directors and screenwriters and actors have lifted him from the books and projected him onto the glamor and glitz of the silver screen, no one will ever be able to separate Harry Potter from Daniel Radcliffe, and vice versa. Why ruin the imagination that Rowling seems to advocate so strongly? Once the movie studio makes a $120-million dollar blockbuster from an insanely popular children’s book, it has provided the public with enough franchise fodder to last another ten years or more, especially since Rowling will probably take...
