...keen follower of the phenomena associated with Harry Potter, Notebook was mildly scandalized by the photo and caption below, which appeared in the pages of our very own magazine. We worried that even a hint of lasciviousness associated with the bespectacled boy wizard could ruin one great AOL Time Warner franchise-in-the-making. (We've got pensions to worry about.) Imagine our consternation when we found that sexual currents have been swirling around Harry's broomstick for years.

With his trusted pals Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, he discovers a new world...

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...
