Re: GEN: Harry Potter's Girl Trouble Article!

I don't have a problem with the underrepresentation of girls
in Harry Potter.  YET.  Keep in mind that there are very few
girls in the lives of normal 10-12 year olds!

When Harry's in puberty, I expect girls to crop up all over,
and we're seeing this in Harry IV with the first formal
dance/prom.  He's also got a crush on Cho and the
boyfriend/girlfriend angle was played up pretty heavily in
Harry IV.  I say give it time.  I think we'll see more girl
characters as we progress through the series.
