...October 2000, I found myself drinking champagne in an east London bar with Molly Ringwald. I'd had the usual schoolboy interest in the coltish American actress ever since The Breakfast Club; she was visiting town and a mutual friend suggested we meet. Molly wore fishnet stockings and her hair was short and brown. (Was it ever truly red?) We talked about a sitcom she was developing, and about the U.S. presidential race. When the bottle was empty she went off to have dinner at the Ivy with Channel 4 star Graham Norton; I got in a taxi, exhilarated...
...struggle between good and evil is the thundering bass line of the plot, but above it we get the familiar delights of another Quidditch season and the schoolboy angst of the upcoming Ordinary Wizarding Levels (the magical equivalent of the SAT) and the arrival of a female Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. What's more, along with death, sex made its first appearance in Goblet of Fire (those veelas! that Cho Chang!), and Harry--well, let's just say again that he's not a kid any more.

It was during that time that Gina began to read aloud the first three books about a schoolboy wizard named Harry Potter, who knew something about fighting fierce, deadly enemies. Maybe that's why, when they took the train from their home in upstate New York to New York City for treatment, Catie wore a red cape, red lightning-shaped scar on her forehead, a wand and big black...
These days, movie superheroes come in two models: the burly and the boyish. Hugh Jackman in "X-Men" is the butch type, slathered in testosterone, ready to pick a fight with the world. Tobey Maguire in "Spider-Man" is the fretful schoolboy, high-strung as a bluegrass fiddle, aching for the hormones to kick...
