Re: Humor/commentary: Harry Potter

[Barb Engvall <mcbook@nwinfo.net>]

For those who missed this like I did, you can go to the NPR site,
(www.npr.org) search for Harry Potter, and with RealPlayer you can hear
the broadcast. There are actually several of them in the archives,
including one from last December, where the comment is made (roughly
quoted here) "I wonder if these will be as popular here as in England"!
