@mariekitu Thanks again! :)

@CChedwige Oh, I'm realizing I'd forgotten the first part !!!
"What I liked in the first Harry Potter was the mix of -
I wouldn't say fantasy because I always think that is a dirty world and fantasy doesn't really work unless it's grounded in reality and it's the reality that appealed to me in a sense.
What's woven into them is a true history of the English folkloric tradition of magic."

@mariekitu Thanks a lot, nice of you. :)

@mariekitu I think it's "mumps"...

Then, when it comes later in life that's when you're really in for trouble just as (some disease ?) at 30 is a much bigger deal than (...) at 8
So, you're kind of doing your children a favour...

... that's why it works, because things don't work if they are a result of a feeble-minded fantasy.
She's a tough writer, she won't compromise on what she sees as being right just in order to worry about what might freighten children
I think it's a function of litterature to give children nightmares
just as it's a function of the biological world to give the measles because if they don't get their nightmares when they're 12, they don't wrestle with the dread of the unknown.

@CChedwige Here is what I myself understood :
She hasn't made up a magic world which is simply a great wishlist of disneyesque fantasy of "well if you have a dream it's gonna come true", cause harry Potter doesn't present the world like that.
It's connected and it comes out of the whole fabric of English history and folkloric mythology. And I'm not in any way trying to push it into a high litterary genre which I'm sure she herself wouldn't claim to belong to, it's merely that...

Damn it, i can't understand all he is saying because it's not my native language. I want to know, it seems interesting and now seeing the comments bellow it becomes even more interesting o__o
Somebody who is extremely generous...?

Even if I'm more of a Rowling-fan I can't deny that. The way he use words when he speaks is brilliant...
