Now I know why I refused to read anything about Harry Potter or watch any movies - it was bad enough when on Saturdays I was woken up by loud child shouts - "Mum my friend Bob has already got new Harry Potter book I want it too!!!" -

However these days alot of calls on kids time. SWamped by cheap toys from china - loads of TV channels(when I was small there were 2 for everyone) and DVDs.
Maybe some kids who read HP for being cool go on to read other books?Comment

Just watching BBC and people are asking - why did not she give money to child charity but preferred political party that in all probability will lose next elections? If she was smart she would have gone to the party that can win (conservatives) and got out some specific child promises for her million, this would have actually allowed her money not to be wasted.
I don't have negative feelings towards her, though I think some of the things she did recently are not right - like say creating special fairy tail to sell it for lots of money, that's cruel - surely all children wanted to read it and she was selling it only to those who can pay hundreds of thousands? Crazy stuff.Comment
